Chapter 1, The Immortal Pengzu of Gu Valley Cultivates the Art of Lying Down

He channeled his meager magical power, concentrating it into his eyes

Although the Book of Demon Exorcism imparted all the cultivation experiences of this technique to him, Li Daoxuan is an outsider to Taoism. Perhaps he unconsciously committed some taboos in his cultivation

It is precisely this technique that enabled him to cultivate magical power, granting him the ability to secure his existence and livelihood

Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed with brilliance as he quickly took out a talisman, formed a hand seal, and silently recited a mantra in his heart

Evening

"Yin Nu Liu Ding, protect my body; Yang Nan Liu Jia, protect my soul; urgently, as per the decree!"

He is currently a bit confused about whether his teammates are too weak or the monsters are too powerful

Get away! Get away! What kind of monster are you!

As long as one slays the demons and monsters, corresponding rewards can be obtained. Nearly half a year has passed since the journey began, and now Li Daoxuan has also developed some skills.

I just want to scam some money

The newly cultivated magical power, along with the previous magical power of Li Daoxuan, converged into a fine stream, crashing into the lower dantian

I am a fraud; I cannot subdue demons at all

May the esteemed deity continue to bless the Wang family, bringing abundant wealth and great prosperity

The old witch let out a cold laugh, remaining silent as she calmly walked into the coffin in the center, lying down with her eyes closed

He formed a seal with his hands, bent his knees, straightened his waist, his heart sank into a deep valley, he maintained tranquility and let go of thoughts, his entire body relaxed completely, and he felt as soft as a ball of cotton.

The statue has a green face and tusks, with wings growing from its back, giving it a fierce and menacing appearance

... ...

The coffin was not large; Li Daoxuan lay inside, and the space was just right, as if it had been custom-made for him. However, there was a musty odor and a faint hint of blood.

In the next moment, the surroundings, which were originally shrouded in darkness, became clear. When Li Daoxuan's gaze swept over his head, it suddenly came to a halt

Opening his eyes, Li Daoxuan revealed a hint of pain in his gaze. Recently, he could not understand why, but every time he practiced, he felt a faint pain in his lower abdomen.

The young Taoist priest is named Li Daoxuan. Although his Taoist robe is somewhat worn, it cannot conceal his handsome features and upright posture. His long hair is styled into a topknot, secured with a wooden hairpin. His gaze is bright and clear, exuding an air of elegance and otherworldliness.

Then everyone's gaze turned in unison towards Li Daoxuan

In the early years of the Zhenguan era, in the Tang Dynasty, in Hongzhou, Xinyang County, in Xiaosha Village

Three magicians, please enter the coffin

At the same time, the terrified shout of the old monk echoed.

Having confirmed that he was trapped in a coffin, Li Daoxuan was not particularly anxious. He closed his eyes, and in his mind, an ancient book radiated brilliance, with four ancient seals on the cover.

Indeed, although this world is set in the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, it is filled with many spine-chilling demons. Li Daoxuan quickly accepted this fact, after all, the "Demon-Slaying Heavenly Book" in his mind is the most incredible existence.

The evening breeze from hetushu.com swept in, bringing with it an overwhelming chill that surged from the tailbone straight to the scalp

After a few muffled sounds, the footsteps outside quickly faded away, and everything around seemed to fall into a dead silence, leaving only the sound of Li Daoxuan's own breathing

The coffin lid is being pushed open little by little

Li Daoxuan's breathing became increasingly light, increasingly slow, elongated like a hibernating snake, and even the beating of his heart slowed down further

But just a few breaths later, the old witch let out a terrible scream, and there was no more sound; the cries of the ghostly infant also disappeared

He did not act immediately; the old witch seemed to possess some abilities, so it would be better to let her deplete the monster's stamina first

It is unclear how much time has passed, when suddenly, a faint howling wind began to echo in the silent surroundings, chilling and mournful like the wails of ghosts, sending shivers down one's spine

In comparison to him, the old monk with a long beard and white eyebrows, along with the old witch whose face is adorned with mysterious patterns, appear much more credible, giving an impression of professionalism at first glance

It seems that when I have some free time, I need to consult a professional Taoist for guidance

Li Daoxuan silently recited the incantation in his heart. This martial art is named "Pengzu Valley Immortal Lying Down Skill," which was bestowed upon him when he activated the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Book after his crossing. It is said to have been created by the legendary Pengzu, who lived for eight hundred years.

Li Daoxuan formed a talisman with his hands, no longer a mere protective charm, but a powerful Five Thunder Talisman. The patterns were exceedingly intricate and difficult to draw, and he possessed very few illustrations and reference books.

"Taking the pit and filling it with the departing, stealing from heaven and deceiving fate, utilizing the fire of the southern palace of departure to refine the gold within the northern water..."

However, the entrance to the lower dantian is blocked, resembling a stone door that stands firm, unyielding to the impact of Li Daoxuan's magical power.

He comes from the future, having traveled back in time through an ancient text titled "The Demon-Slaying Heavenly Book," and has become a little Taoist priest who shares his name, making a living by capturing ghosts and eliminating monsters

Let me out quickly

The old monk glanced at Li Daoxuan, chuckled, and said: "Little child, you have only been practicing for a few years, and you dare to catch a banner to subdue demons?"

This is the Six Ding Six Jia talisman, which will automatically activate when under attack from evil spirits. Currently, with Li Daoxuan's mastery of this talisman, it can only be sustained for a quarter of an hour

The Book of Demon Exorcism

Upon witnessing this scene, Wang the wealthy landlord and his servants all took a few steps back, some unable to bear the sight of the old witch

... ...

At that moment, he faintly heard that the old witch's coffin had also been opened, and a commotion of fighting could be heard from outside, as if a ghostly infant was crying

This is his golden finger, and it is also this book that allowed him to traverse from the 21st century to this demon-infested world of the Tang Dynasty, and he has also acquired some abilities to subdue demons and eliminate evil.

With a piercing scream, the old monk's voice abruptly ceased

Wang Caizhu returned to his bedroom at home, dismissed everyone, and then opened a hidden compartment in the wall, revealing a revered statue.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan looked at the three eerie coffins at www.hetushu.comcom, his brows slightly furrowed, and he retreated behind the crowd, not choosing first

He lay down in the leftmost black coffin with his head held high and a composed expression, even stretching his back.

Two currents of energy converge at the dantian, where the dragon and tiger meet, harmonizing yin and yang, transforming into a strand of pure magical power

Gradually, two streams of energy emerged within Li Daoxuan. One flowed through the heart, transforming into the warm energy of the heart fire, corresponding to the fire of the Southern Li Palace in the incantation; the other flowed through the kidneys, transforming into the cool essence of the kidney water, corresponding to the metal within the water of the Northern direction.

Behind him, apart from the household servants, there were three individuals whose appearances were incongruous with their surroundings: an old monk, an old witch, and a young Taoist priest

However, before he could think much further, Li Daoxuan's heart began to race, for he clearly heard footsteps stopping in front of his coffin

In the next moment, the talisman in Li Daoxuan's hand transformed into a beam of golden light, entering his body, granting a sense of security to his wildly beating heart

His gaze sharpened, for on the coffin lid above him were numerous dried bloodstains, marks made by someone's fingers.

Li Daoxuan's face turned dark

The old witch looked around and, instead of taking out an advanced coffin, carefully retrieved an urn containing ashes. She placed it in the southeast corner of the yard and muttered a few incomprehensible incantations, at which point a miraculous scene unfolded.

Suddenly, the urn containing the ashes began to tremble violently, and then gradually returned to calm, as if in response to the old witch's words

In fact, he is also aware that, due to age, the people here do not place much importance on themselves

Wang Caizhu took out three blood-red incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner, bowing and saying: "The offerings are ready, please, esteemed deity, partake!"

However, Li Daoxuan was still not at ease; he continued to take out the six Ding and six Jia talismans that he had prepared in advance, using a total of ten before finally stopping

The universe has united, and a single point has descended upon the Yellow Court

The wealthiest landlord in Xiaosha Village, Wang Caizhu, said with a smile, his face beaming like a weasel that had turned into a spirit

Li Daoxuan did not know when he had retreated to the doorway. Facing the gazes of the crowd, he smiled calmly, silently reconstructing the escape route he had memorized in his mind, and then walked towards the last coffin, lying down inside it

Li Daoxuan pushed the coffin lid, but it did not budge, remaining as immovable as a rock

But whether it was an illusion or not, at the moment the attendants placed the lid on the coffin, Li Daoxuan seemed to see a hint of tension in their eyes

As the coffin was slowly closed, the light gradually faded away, until it ultimately fell into complete darkness

At midnight, under the moon, three coffins are quietly placed in this pitch-black courtyard, each covered by a large square stone on top of the coffin lid

The servants, under the urging of the wealthy landlord Wang, cautiously approached and placed the coffin lid on top.

After all, one must be alive to have output
