Chapter 15 The Night Shining Candle

"Li Yuechi is a respectable Five Elements Master." The Taoist priest said this sentence just after he made a prediction of death to the young people.

His eyes retracted from the distance and fell on Xiaoqiu. He saw through all his doubts at first glance, "Li Yuechi's inner elixir is on you, it tells me everything." Then he raised his right hand and held a small yellow ball with his two fingers.

Xiaoqiu subconsciously touched his chest twice, and then he realized that he could no longer feel the rotation of the inner alchemy. The inner alchemy that the demon seed could not take away was easily taken away by this strange Taoist priest.

The teenagers listened quietly. Although they heard the word "death", they could not feel any threat from the Taoist priests. Yes, this is a person who looks harsh, but like Fangfang's father, Mr. Qin, he was harsh but not ferocious. The harsh words he said only made the students more honest and not fearful.

The Taoist priest's eyes rose again and fell on the wooden stake in Grandma Feng's yard. He seemed to be talking to people from afar, explaining why he had to be so irresistible.

Through his story, the Five Elements Mage Li Yuechi appeared in front of the young men in a more full image.

Li Yuechi was discovered at the age of ten and was able to successfully enter Pangshan to practice. His appearance was only in his thirties, but in fact he was 67 years old this year. As a Five Elements Master, his duty is to travel around the world to kill demons and eliminate demons. In this process, he has seen countless strange things.

"He knows the terribleness of the demon seed than most people." The Taoist continued, with a solemn tone, ignoring whether the teenagers could understand it. "It is also stronger than the will of most people. The demon seeds in the snake demon's body did not cause fatal harm to Li Yuechi, but he knew that the demon seeds could not be completely cut off. He was lucky enough to give the demon seeds the chance to take root. He would rather ask a group of children for help and hand over the inner alchemy than take the risk of taking the demon seeds back to Pangshan."

The Taoist priest paused for a moment, his eyes lowered, as if expressing condolences to his fellow disciples. Then he raised his head and said, "Li Yuechi committed suicide. He fought against the demon seed all his life, and did not surrender to the demon seed at the last moment. He is the glory of my Taoist throne of Pangshan."

A night wind blew, bringing a fishy smell from the ugly corpses not far away. The teenagers were panicked and gathered tightly in a pile to seek support from each other.

Xiaoqiu took a step and asked loudly: "Do you want us to commit suicide too?"

The Taoist priest did not answer, slowly walked across the official road, pushed open the wood door, and entered the yard of Grandma Feng. He looked at the wooden stake. Suddenly, a small candle appeared at the top of the wooden stake. The candlelight was dim and not strong at all, but the illumination range was very wide. The young men who were left in the place were attracted like moths and walked into the yard.

A voice came from the wooden stake. It was an old woman. "Why explain to the beasts how to fly? They are mortals, so they should do things that mortals are not required. It is normal for them to not be able to do what the Five Elements Mage can do."

"Grandma Feng." Fangfang recognized the voice. Although she had long guessed through two similar oil lamps that Grandma Feng was not an ordinary person, Fangfang was still surprised when she heard her talking from the wooden stake and moved one step closer to Xiaoqiu.

The other teenagers were also surprised. They looked at the wooden stake carefully and could not imagine that there could be someone hiding inside.

Grandma Feng continued to say, "The Demon King will definitely have a big conspiracy when he arrives in person. He will never waste his magic power casually. These children have little power, so the Demon King will not leave the demon seeds in their bodies."

The Taoist priest glanced at the boy behind him, "They could hear the sounds coming from me thousands of miles away." He looked at Xiaoqiu and Fangfang twice more. The two children heard the sounds first, which was different from ordinary people.

"They had demon seeds at that time, what about now?"

The Taoist priest said nothing, but the candles on the wooden stake emitted a powerful wave of light, spreading out like water marks. Before the teenagers could react, the light wave had already passed through their bodies and disappeared more than ten feet away.

"The night shines on the gods." Grandma Feng said that no matter where she was, she knew the scenes that happened at home. "It will not lie, and the demon seed did not leave any traces in the bodies of these children. If anything, even if they are really attacked, they will not cause much harm with their strength."

The Taoist priest still said nothing, and Grandma Feng stopped talking. She knew that this was not a person who could be persuaded, and he could only weigh the pros and cons by himself.

Daliang quietly approached Xiaoqiu and said in a very low voice: "Brother Xiaoqiu, I want to go home."

Xiaoqiu also wanted to leave here. The Taoist priest talked to Grandma Feng, but he could understand the general meaning: The Taoist priest wanted them to die, while Grandma Feng hoped to give them a chance.

Xiaoqiu nodded to his friends and plucked up his courage to approach the Taoist priest two steps, "Are you Grandmaster Pangshan?"

The Taoist priest looked down at the villain wearing a straw hat and suddenly remembered that this was the first ordinary mortal he had touched over the years. After being isolated for a long time, he almost forgot the weakness and vitality of mortals. The boys sent to Pangshan were all elites like Li Yuechi. They showed their unique qualities since childhood, but the group of teenagers in front of him were real mortals.

But he is still a human being, and can understand the words of the Taoist priests, and even occasionally help the Taoist priests with a small favor.

"My name is Ning Qiwei, yes, I am Grandmaster Pangshan."

"That...Master Li's inner alchemy has been handed over to you, and we are going back to Yelin Town."

Xiaoqiu took the lead in walking towards the wood gate, feeling uneasy, afraid that Grandmaster Pang Shan would call them, but suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly stopped and placed the demon pill in Li Yuechi's treasure bag on the ground.

The other boys immediately did as they did, and small objects such as copper bells and bronze mirrors were placed all over the floor. Daliang was extremely reluctant to let go and wiped them on the copper gourd before putting them down.

Only Fangfang put down nothing, and the oil lamp she got was taken away by the prince of Xijie Kingdom Xin Youtao.

Xiaoqiu held the wood door and after all his friends came out, he gently closed the wood door, "Thank you for your life-saving kindness. I originally wanted to learn from my master, but I didn't... Daogen or something."

Xiaoqiu remembered the red horse, and opened the wooden door and waved it out.

Grandmaster Pangshan, Ning Qiwei, still said nothing, his robe fluttered. He was also talking silently with Grandma Feng through another wooden stake.

"We can leave, right?" Ershuan asked in a low voice. Only at this time did he have no worries to compete with Xiaoqiu for the position of leader. He was like others and wanted to run away, but he always felt that Xiaoqiu would be safer after he spoke.

Xiaoqiu closed the wood door and pulled the reins of the red horse. He was listening hard, hoping to know what the Taoist priest and Grandma Feng were saying, but as Grandma Feng said, after the demon seed was not allowed, he could hear nothing.

"Don't worry, go slowly." Xiaoqiu took the lead in walking towards Yelin Town to the east, and Ersun and others followed closely behind, all trying to control the urge to turn back and watch.

The boys walked only more than ten steps, and a crisp ringtone came from the opposite side. Unlike Li Yuechi's bronze ringtone, this ringtone has no ability to capture people's minds and is even more ordinary.

Xiaoqiu stopped, and the others also stopped. Ersun was happy, "It was my father who sent someone to find me."

The appearance of a small donkey appeared in the dark night opposite, which seemed to prove that Ershuan said was right. All the young men were happy. In their eyes, Mr. Shen, guarding the guard, was a great man with a higher status than Master Pang Shan.

The little donkey with a bell hanging around his neck appeared, but a stranger was sitting on it.

The stranger had a long face and a towering tall crown, which made his face look longer. He jumped off the donkey's back, but his body was very short, and a faint smile appeared on his face, looking very funny.

"Children, are you going to go back to Yelin Town?"

The young men nodded. Compared with the Grandmaster of Pangshan, Ning Qiwei, this person is much more kind. Although it looks weird, it is not scary.

"I suggest you turn around."

"Who are you? Not like our Yelin Town people." Ershuon regarded himself as the future owner of Yelin Town, so he asked with confidence.

The Gaoguan Monster did not answer, and led the donkey past the teenagers. When passing by the red horse, he glanced a few times and compared it with his own donkey, which seemed to be very envious.

He walked to the wood gate and stopped, bowed to Ning Qiwei and said, "I didn't expect that Grandmaster Pangshan would come to visit. Longbin, Xijieguo, would be in a position to welcome him. I would forgive my sins."

Ershuan screamed, and then whispered: "This person is a talisman master, and the Longbin Society is full of talisman masters."

"Is it just the talisman master that Saner mentioned?" Erliang asked.

Ning Qiwei returned the gift, but there was no enthusiasm for meeting acquaintances in his voice. "A demon king appeared here, I came here for it."

"Well, the Demon King appears, and it is indeed necessary for the Grandmaster to take action in person to defeat him in one fell swoop." Gao Guan Talisman Master nodded repeatedly, but his expression on his face was dissatisfied. "Oh, the demon seed is really troublesome. It can't be cut off and driven away. I don't know when it will be."

"This is just the beginning." Ning Qiwei's voice became even colder.

"Haha, a talisman master like me who has a short lifespan is just beginning in the eyes of the master, right?"

Ning Qiwei did not respond. The talisman master turned his head and glanced at the curious young men, "Please forgive me, when I came here just now, I accidentally heard a few words, let me solve the problem. I will take these children away, and they have nowhere to go anyway."

"We want to go home." Ershuan said loudly. Even if the bald parents beat him up, he would go home. This is the common voice of all the teenagers. Even Xiaoqiu and Fangfang were afraid of the outside world and felt that they might as well go home and find a way.

The talisman master smiled and shook his head, "No, no, Yelin Town is gone, you are homeless, you can only follow me."

"Yelin Town is gone?" The teenagers looked at each other, and no one understood what this sentence meant.

"No, don't you think there are only one or two demon species, right? This is a great invasion. Longbin and fellow Taoist Pangshan have already used all their strength - but they still haven't completely blocked it. You are very lucky to leave Yelin Town early and escape. Yelin Town is now an unmanned wasteland town. Please allow me to say nonsense, but it is also the truth: there are even rats in the town."

"Impossible." Ersun retorted angrily, turned around and looked at Yelin Town. Although it was pitch black, there was no strange phenomenon.

"I can take you to see later." said the talisman master, then turned to Ning Qiwei, "How is it? Pang Shan will deal with the demon seeds, and Long Bin will take charge of mortals. This is the agreement we reached."

This is exactly what Ning Qiwei hates mortals. They always challenge the monks with the wisdom they have accumulated in their short lives. "Sorry, I want to bring these nine children back to Pangshan."

"Haha, when did Pang Shan also become interested in children without Taoist roots?" The expression of the talisman master changed slightly.

The Ye Zhao Shen Candle on the wooden stake next to Ning Qiwei emitted a bright light again. Unlike the last time, all living things show internal structures wherever the light passes, and even the flowers, plants and trees reveal the flowing veins of water droplets.

The talisman master looked down at his beating heart, and his smile disappeared. He thought that he was the only one who discovered the truth and ignored Master Pang Shan's ability.

The young men looked at each other's extremely clear internal organs in surprise, feeling unbelievable by this scene, and almost forgot the horrible rumors about Yelin Town.

Ning Qiwei knew that this small group of mortals had undergone a strange change. Pang Shan wanted to find out the reason and the child had to be taken away by him. So he answered the question of the talisman master: "From the moment the Taoist root was produced, they were owned by Pang Shan."

Ye Zhao Shenzhu did not find the demon seed from the nine teenagers, but found the Taoist root, which was something they had never had before at this moment.
