Chapter 371 Finally Waiting for the Real Person A young Taoist priest came from afar to a remote and dilapidated Taoist temple. There was a faint coughing sound inside. The old Taoist was alone, nearly a hundred years old, but he still hadn't left. He just lay in bed, his eyes dim and he could no longer see. "Tuk tuk..." "Who?" "May I ask if you are the Taoist Priest of Pianshan?" "who are you?" "I am a Taoist from Yishan. My last name is Lin Jue. I came from the capital." Lin Jue paused. "Today, I have eliminated the Leopard King in Leopard Forest. I have severely injured it and killed all the demon soldiers and generals. However, there are too many statues in Leopard Forest, so it is difficult to completely remove them in a short period of time. Under the instruction of Master Fan, I have come here to seek a solution to the Soul Transfer Technique." The old Taoist got up suddenly from his dying illness. With a creak, the door opened.

The two men faced each other, but one of them was gray-haired and old, with eyes that could not even see people clearly, while the other one was young and looked down at him with a different look. "Lin Jue? Master Lin from the capital?" "..." Seeing this person's appearance, regardless of whether he had a way to crack it or not, Lin Jue's heart softened, and he said with a little more respect: "Master Dao is here, at this age, and still cares about the affairs of the capital?" "Master Lin is exorcising demons in Leopard Forest?" The old Taoist tilted his head and tilted his ear, looking at him carefully. "Exactly!" "Do you know the demon king's abilities?" "How could I not know when I beat him so badly with my own hands?" “Then do you know that the reason why the statues can move is that there is a soul in each statue?” The old Taoist still asked with his ear tilted. "This is the soul-transferring technique, so it's natural." Lin Jue also became serious. "Yes, yes." The old Taoist nodded repeatedly, and his head trembled uncontrollably as if he was old. He turned around and walked back tremblingly, saying to him, "Master, please come in, please come in." Lin Jue followed him in. This Taoist temple is much smaller than Fuqiu Temple and also smaller than my junior sister's Hongye Temple. It only has this one room. This old Taoist seems to have no disciples. He is alone. After he went blind, his room was in a mess. Even if he is a Taoist who has a good way of keeping healthy and practicing, he still has the smell of an old man after he is old and weak. The fox was looking and sniffing around. "Master Dao has never accepted any disciples?" "I have received it. Baolin is dead." "I see." The old Taoist naturally found a bench and pushed it to Lin Jue. Although his eyes were cloudy, he looked quite excited: "How did Master Lin kill all the demon soldiers and generals?"

"They intend to come out in full force to wipe us out, so we will take advantage of their tactic and show them weakness, lure them into the mountain pit, and then kill them at night." "Good! Good!" The old Taoist couldn't help but applaud, as if he was no longer in his right mind. "How did you severely injure the demon king?" "It underestimated me, so I angered it and severely injured it during the fight. I then worked with the Heavenly Fire General under the command of the Southern Divine Lord Yili to severely injure it and force it to flee." "Good good!" The old Taoist became even more excited. "Master, do you know that there is a common magic spell that is common in Taoism and Buddhism, called the Soul-Calming Spell?" "Of course I know." "Then, Master, do you know that the gods in the world often use a magic called soul-binding? They can capture a person's soul and interrogate it." "Know!" Lin Jue frowned. When he looked at the old Taoist again, his expression suddenly became serious. Even the fox turned his head. He had learned this skill of "binding the soul and commanding the spirit" once from Liu Taihou when he was in Shu Village. He also learned it briefly afterwards. Although he did not practice it in depth, he had mastered it. Some time ago, when Lin Jue was thinking about the solution to the soul-transferring technique, he also thought of "binding the soul and commanding the spirit", but it was obviously not that simple and easy. The mystery involved was also more complicated, and it was far from something that could be figured out by himself in a few months. At this moment, the old Taoist in front of him only used two sentences to let him know that he probably really figured out the solution to the soul transfer technique. "When I was young, I learned the Taoist soul-soothing spell, and also went to the Buddhists to learn their soul-soothing techniques. I even studied the scriptures of both sides to purify the mind and soothe the soul. It took me no less than ten years. I spent another ten years to understand the soul-binding and soul-controlling skills from the gods in the mountains, and another forty years before I figured out the solution to the demon king's magical power. My disciple has tried it in the Leopard Forest, and it is indeed possible." The old Taoist spoke slowly and Lin Jue listened quietly. The principle behind it is indeed derived from the soul-calming techniques of Taoism and Buddhism and the soul-binding and spirit-controlling techniques of the incense-burning Shintoism, but it also goes beyond these. If you really want to say it, it is much more domineering. Therefore, the soul can be captured from the statue or even killed directly. The art of requiem is a very simple spell, and Lin Jue had learned the art of soul-binding and spirit-controlling, so he understood many things at once. In addition, he had a high level of comprehension, and he had gone further and further in this field. He had also thought hard beforehand, so he could often draw inferences from one instance, so that the old Taoist in front of him did not seem to be giving him spells, but rather inspiration. Even the old Taoist priests are often shocked. Three days later—— The two Taoists were still sitting opposite each other in the room. Lin Jue suddenly noticed it and felt a sense of fear in his heart. But this feeling was different from usual and not familiar. Thinking back carefully, it was more like the feeling I had when I witnessed the great magical powers of Goddess Yaohua in Dangshan and was bathed in the colorful spiritual light. At that time, there was an extra page in the ancient book, a new page. But it is a blank page. "Does this magic have a name?" Lin Jue did not take out the ancient book to look through it, but instead asked the old Taoist in front of him with an idea.

"I have never taken one..." "Master, you can take one." "Soul Binding Technique... Is it good?" "The incense and fire sect already has the soul-binding technique, and this technique is even more domineering. The word 'bind' is not appropriate." Lin Jue shook his head. "How about the Soul-Extermination Technique?" "Okay! Sure! If this method can be passed down, I will let the world know that it is the creation of my life." Lin Jue stood up and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Master Dao." "Ouch……" The old Taoist was about to cry. He wiped his eyes with his hands and bowed to him more respectfully: "Why thank me? I should thank Master Lin. I have been waiting for this day for eighty years. Even if we count it from the time I realized the magic, it has been more than ten years. In the past eighty years, I have been thinking about it day and night. I often dream about it. When I close my eyes, I see the scene of my family being eaten by the monster. I have never felt at ease for a single night." "..." The fox was simple-minded by nature and didn't know the emotions involved, nor how rare this was. It just lay there scratching its itch. Lin Jue didn't say much, just said: "Master, please take care of yourself. If I get rid of the Leopard King, I will definitely come to visit you again and tell you about this. I won't wait long." "good good good good!" The old Taoist's face was beaming with joy, and it was not known whether it was because he was happy or because of the nourishing elixirs and magical liquids that Lin Jue had given him in the past two days. The Taoist went out and called the egret. The old Taoist priest was holding onto the door frame to see him off, looking outside with a pair of eyes that had long since lost their sight. In fact, all he saw was a vast expanse of white. "Master Dao, take your leave." "Master Lin, please stay! We must get rid of this monster!" "must!" A man and a fox rode away on a egret. The old Taoist priest still stood at the door, looking outside. There was still a vast expanse of white in his eyes. Seventy years of hard meditation, countless days and nights, was not an easy task. He had returned to those years in his dreams countless times, but on this day, the old Taoist finally waited for the real person who could avenge him. Standing on the egret's back, how could Lin Jue not sigh? That day outside the Leopard Forest, he thought that there were not many people in the world who were willing and able to exorcise demons. People around the capital were probably gathered in his place and Yunmeng County. But today, this Taoist priest from the mountain personally told him - There are more than just these strange and extraordinary people in the world. But the world is too big, and the rivers and lakes are too vast. They are like being in the dark, and the only thing they lack is a bright lamp. It didn't take long for Lin Jue to calm his mind and continue thinking about this magic. This spell is really powerful. This Taoist from Pianshan understood the principle but he himself had not mastered it. His lifelong goal was to deal with the Leopard King's soul-transferring technique. However, Lin Jue had already realized that since this spell could overcome the power of the soul-transferring technique and could pull the soul out of the statue and kill it, it could also pull out the soul of a living person.

If you continue to study in depth and continue to study along this path, you may be able to pull out the souls of cultivated monks, skilled monsters, and even gods to kill them. The Taoist priest Pianshan found the direction and built a road, but this road can still be further built. In just one hour, the egret flew to the leopard forest. There was a fierce battle going on below. Lin Jue saw Wan Xinrong swung the lantern in his hand and smashed it on the head of a stone sculpture with a bang. Sparks flew and the head of the stone sculpture was smashed to pieces, with stone chips flying everywhere. Then Wan Xinrong retreated quickly without wanting to fight. Taoist Master Tao and the others behind him immediately protected him, while he held up the lantern and blew hard at a group of wooden tree figures in the distance. Sparks immediately flowed like rivers, starting a fire. Luo Gong was fighting alone with a gun against a huge bronze statue, and the fight was earth-shattering. The Taoists from Zhenjian Palace assisted with thunder and fire talisman paper. In the fierce battle, no one looked up at the sky. Only the Leopard King hiding in the mountains noticed that there was a white egret flying in the blue sky. The egret slowly descended and landed on the treetop. "call!" A huge white fox descended from the sky, like a totem of an ancient god. As soon as it opened its mouth, golden flames covered the entire earth. The Taoist also gracefully descended from the egret's back. He just hesitated for a moment, then reached forward with one hand. "Come!" A ray of light rushed out, like a big hand, or a rope, rushing towards the bronze statue that was fighting fiercely with Luo Gong. "Ah~~" I seemed to hear a scream, but it seemed not to be heard. There was actually a black smoke, bound by spiritual light. As the Taoist withdrew his hand, it was slowly pulled out from the bronze statue, and it seemed to be wailing. The Taoist calmed his mind, gritted his teeth, and clenched his hands. With a bang—— Black smoke exploded in the air and quickly dissipated into nothingness. This huge bronze statue just fell down like that, and it was not any more difficult than when a real person killed a wooden or stone statue. The spell is already in his mind. Fortunately, he had learned the Soul Binding and Spirit Controlling Technique before. After a few days, he has already mastered it. He does not need to practice too much. There are thousands of statues here that will slowly help him reach perfection. But this move frightened the dark demon king. It also shocked many strange people, warriors and Taoists at the scene.
