Li Xiao went forward and searched the Zeng Lünian's body. Of course, the lightning and fireballs didn't survive, and most of the items were burned to ashes. However, there were still many things left in the cave.
Just as she was about to turn around, she heard the Sparrow Spirit and Little Green exclaim in unison.
"Xiao Xiao, why are there scales on his body?"
Li Xiao heard this and immediately looked over. She saw that scales had appeared on part of the Zeng Lünian's arm. The scales reflected a somewhat dazzling light under the sun. Not only that, but there was also a pair of horns on his head.
Little Green exclaimed in surprise. She quickly recognized it based on her race's advantage. "These look a bit like the scales of a flood dragon."
Li Xiao had heard that demons would reveal their true forms after death. However, the Zeng Lünian still had the appearance of a human. At most, there were more scales on his arms and a pair of horns on his head.
She pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that his ancestors should have some flood dragon blood, but it should be very faint." Otherwise, the Zeng Lünian would have used the flood dragon's unique talent to compete with her when they were fighting.
She took out her phone and took a few photos of the corpse.
Little Green looked at the scales with sparkling eyes. "These scales look better than mine. They're shiny!" She had always liked shiny things. Moreover, this was a flood dragon! She didn't know how many years it would take for her to cultivate into a flood dragon.
Li Xiao waved her hand. "Since you like it, then peel it off and take it away." Although it was said that the dead should be respected, she really couldn't bring herself to respect a person like the Zeng Lünian.
As a demon, Little Green wouldn't be restrained by human customs. She squatted down and carefully peeled off the scales, preparing to make a beautiful scale makeup for herself.
Li Xiao went into the cave to search for the things left behind by the Zeng Lünian. The Ten Thousand Demon Banner had already been destroyed by the heavenly lightning and burned to ashes. There was no way it could be used. Even if it could be used, Li Xiao would not use it. Apart from the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, the Zeng Lünian had a few other magical artifacts, all of which were more sinister.
The palm-sized Mystifying Mirror could confuse a person's mind when used. The stronger one's willpower, the shorter the time they would be confused. There were also poisonous needles that could harm souls, scarecrows that could cast curses on people … Actually, Zeng Lünian had quite a lot of things on him. After all, he had collected quite a few good things over the years. However, Li Xiao was smart enough to beat him up with a stick as soon as he appeared. As a result, he was so unlucky that he didn't even have time to use his trump card and died in an aggrieved manner.
She also found two pitch-black beads in a box. Many twisted and painful figures could be vaguely seen in the bead …
It was a ghost trapped inside after being killed by the Zeng Lünian.
Li Xiao directly released them. As soon as these ghosts were released, they rushed towards the Zeng Lünian's corpse as if they had gone crazy, biting and tearing at it with deep hatred.
She didn't look at the bloody scene and continued to look for things — these victims indeed had the right to take revenge on the Zeng Lünian. Compared to the so-called magical artifacts, she was more interested in the books left behind by the Zeng Lünian.
"It's in that rat hole. His tree is hidden in that rat hole. "A little girl who looked to be about six years old timidly said to Li Xiao. She was also one of the people trapped in the bead. Compared to the other ghosts who were driven by hatred to take revenge, she looked calmer. No, rather than calmer, it was better to say that she was ignorant. She was too young when she died, so young that she didn't understand the meaning of death.
Li Xiao subconsciously wanted to touch her head, but when she realized that her hand would go through the little girl's body, she retracted her hand.
"Sparrow, take out the things in the hole."
She ordered the sparrow spirit.
The sparrow spirit went into the hole and came out a few minutes later with a few books in its mouth. After it put down the books, it couldn't help but spit and complain, "It smells like blood."
The first book had the words "Dragon Transformation" written on the cover. From the handwriting, it seemed to belong to Zeng Lixing. Li Xiao raised her eyebrows and opened the book. The first half of the book was about how a flood dragon cultivated to become a dragon. The second half of the book was about how to stimulate the demonic energy in the body.
To stimulate the demonic energy, one needed to gather fear, resentment, and other strong emotions. Together with killing intent, one needed to cultivate for eighty-one days to stimulate the demonic energy in such an extreme environment.
Li Xiao's face became gloomy. She roughly understood why the Zeng Lünian killed so many people. It was to collect these things. In his eyes, other than Chan Ka-yin, the lives of the other people were probably just a number.
The second book was about the cultivation method of some curse techniques. As soon as she opened it, the stench of blood rushed towards her. Li Xiao skimmed through it and was disgusted by the curse techniques written on it. She immediately burned the book!
If this book was spread out, it would only harm more people.
The third book was the diary of the Zeng Lünian.
The diary started from when the Zeng Lünian was twenty years old. Li Xiao actually didn't understand the mentality of the person who wrote the diary. Was it to make it easier for him to recall his feelings at that time?
According to the diary, after the death of his grandfather, the Zeng Lünian studied the Daoist techniques passed down by his family alone. In order to do better experiments, he used the vampires he subdued to lure the villagers up the mountain. Because his actions were too unscrupulous, he was discovered by some Daoist priests and was hunted down. When he was seriously injured, he met Chan Ka-yin and was saved by Chan Ka-yin. (Here, the diary described his love for Chan Ka-yin in great detail.)
Chan Ka-yin's daughter, Li Qianfei, was not very lucky. She was often involved in messy matters. She would either fall into a pit while walking or meet with robbers. Because of this, Chan Ka-yin was implicated.
The Zeng Lünian decided to use the scales passed down by his family. According to the ancient book, he created a treasure that could steal fate. He placed the scales on Li Qianfei's body and made her the so-called koi fish. She was always able to turn misfortunes into blessings.
On the other hand, he indirectly used the fate stolen from Li Qianfei to cultivate. His cultivation progressed a thousand times in a day. Because Zhan Jiayin and Li Qianxing spent most of their time with Li Qianfei, they were more or less influenced by her and gained some benefits.
Chan Ka-yin was often bullied abroad because of her weak appearance and her Chinese nationality. All the people who bullied her were secretly taken care of by the Zeng Lünian. When he was abroad, he accidentally found fake dragon balls and auctioned them off. He was prepared to follow the traces of these fake dragon balls to find the real dragon clan.
After returning to China with Chan Ka-yin, he used his own abilities to help Chan Ka-yin clear the obstacles ahead. He ruined the feng shui of the Xu family's haunted house, broke the feng shui array of the Chinese dance building, and even lured Chan Ka-yin's opponents to believe in the little demon. In the process, he accidentally learned that his ancestors had the bloodline of a dragon. In order to stimulate the bloodline, he followed the techniques passed down by his family and gathered strong fear and resentment. He massacred the village where he lived when he was young and created the illusion that it was a demon. He then hid in the Misty Cloud Mountain to cultivate.
According to his original plan, he would be able to stimulate the demon power in his body within this year. However, he did not expect that Li Qianfei's fate technique would be broken. He also suffered a certain amount of backlash and was injured.
After Li Xiao finished flipping through the diary, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. She just let the Zeng Lünian die too easily! Just based on the diary's records, there were at least a few hundred people who died in his hands.
She kept the diary as the relevant evidence. She destroyed the other things. When she finished dealing with these, the Zeng Lünian's corpse had already been ruined by the ghosts.
Li Xiao sighed softly and recited the sutra to send the ghosts to reincarnate. As for the two pearls, she kept them and prepared to give them to Chan Ka-yin and her daughter as a gift. The resentment remaining in the pearls was enough to give them nightmares.
Little Green was surprised and said, "You're reciting Yunxiao Guan's sutra! Are you Yunxiao Guan's disciple outside? "
The demons on Yunmiao Mountain had a good relationship with every monastery head of Yunxiao Guan. In the past, they even went to listen to them recite the sutra. There were more demons on Yunmiao Mountain than other places. Part of the reason was that there was an abundance of spiritual energy here, and the other part was because of the monastery heads' indulgence.
Li Xiao said, "I'm Yunxiao Guan's 16th generation disciple." In fact, she was also the monastery head. After all, she was the only disciple in the 16th generation.
Little Green showed a happy expression. "No wonder I felt so close to you when I saw you. So it was because of this!"
After finding a reason to believe Li Xiao, Little Green was very happy. Her attitude towards Li Xiao became even more intimate.
Li Xiao, who was originally in a bad mood, could not help but show a faint smile. "Take me to the monastery."
She needed to pay her respects to the ancestors. Although she could climb the mountain by herself, she had a mount. Why would she have to walk by herself?
Little Green was very good-tempered. She turned into a giant python again. Li Xiao sat on it and enjoyed the scenery around.
The Yin Cave was not far from Yunxiao Guan. They arrived soon. Although there were no pilgrims coming to Yunxiao Guan, the Taoist temple was unexpectedly clean and tidy.
Li Xiao thought for a while and guessed the reason. It should be that the demons in the mountain often came to help clean the temple because of their friendship with neighbors for many years.
She walked in with ease, lit a few incense sticks, and paid her respects to the ancestors one by one. As the head of Yunxiao Guan, she naturally knew where the sutra books were. She quickly found it and put it away.
Before going back to the original world, she would find a suitable successor for Yunxiao Guan in this world.
Little Green saw this and was even more convinced that she was Yunxiao Guan's disciple. Well, maybe Li Xiao didn't come back all these years for some reason. But she must have heard about their existence from the previous head of the temple.
Li Xiao got Yunxiao Guan's cultivation method and Taoist magic arts, but she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she strolled around the Taoist temple leisurely. The familiar surroundings gave her the illusion that she had never traveled to this world. It was as if she was still in the original world.
It was strange. There were many differences between this world and her original world, but there were also similarities. For example, Yunxiao Mountain and Yunxiao Guan. And her old familiar demons. Li Xiao was surprised and at a loss at the same time.
The Sparrow Spirit suddenly let out a cry, her tone revealing a hint of panic.
Li Xiao looked over. "What's the matter? Don't you have enough manuscripts? " She knew that in order to accompany her this time, the sparrow demon specially worked all night to write manuscripts and put them in the manuscript box. It was an author who was determined not to stop updating.
The sparrow demon shook its head. "I just thought of something very important!" It nodded vigorously to show the seriousness of the matter.
"Xiao Xiao, you killed Zeng Lünian. What if Chan Ka-yin and Li Qianfei report you for murder? If you get caught, will you go to jail? "
"Will we have to wander the world after this?" The sparrow demon's voice sounded like it was about to cry when it thought of that scene. It hadn't lived a good life with Li Xiao for long. Would it have to live a miserable life as a fugitive?
Li Xiao: "…"
This sparrow demon learned the common sense of the world quite quickly!
