In the middle of winter, there was a barren, uninhabited area on the plateau. Looking up, it was a flat piece of land with no place to hide. Only some yellow weeds stubbornly sprouted some green. A herd of wild goats ran past in the distance, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Not long after, the place started to become more lively.
"Bodhisattva, it's been a while." A solemn-looking old man in a kasaya, who looked like an eminent monk, was twirling a string of prayer beads and nodding slightly at a young man.
Bodhisattva Spirit King only smiled slightly but did not say anything.
"Bodhisattva came to the world first and established his own holy sect. It's really puzzling …" The old man frowned and twirled the prayer beads.
The young man still did not say anything.
The old man was finally speechless.
"Hahaha, so the two of you have already arrived. This old Daoist is still a step late." At this time, a white-haired old man wearing a black Daoist robe also suddenly appeared.
However, this old man's appearance was a little strange. Not only was he holding a white horsetail whisk in one hand, he was also carrying a person in the other.
"Put me down, old man …" The person mumbled.
"Shut up. In front of outsiders, you can either call me Master or Master. How many times have I told you, you're a courier …" The old man reprimanded the person in his hand.
"Got it, old man." As soon as the person finished speaking, the old man let go and fell to the ground with a "thud".
"Hehe, please don't be offended. I'm a Taoist priest, not a family man. Why would I get married and have children? This child has been fed by me since he was young and treats me like a father. That's why he can't keep his mouth shut … "The old man smiled at the two.
The eminent monk only smiled and nodded without saying anything.
The young man, on the other hand, was interested. He looked at the young man on the ground. The young man looked average and was about seventeen or nineteen years old. He then compared him to the old man and nodded. "I heard that Master Ma was already thirty-eight years old when he became a monk. It seems like this child is really related to Master Ma. This is the first time we've met. Here's a little something for him to protect himself."
As he spoke, a crystal clear bead flew out of the young man's hand.
Master Ma took it and rubbed it on his palm. He even raised it to look at the sun.
After reading it, his face bloomed like a flower, "Everyone says that the Bodhisattva is generous, and indeed it is. Since Bodhisattva is willing to give such a precious thing, you must like this child. I might as well give him to you as a servant … "
The young man on the ground wailed, "Father, a single sarira was enough to buy you over. How could you sell your own son so easily?"
The old Taoist slapped him with his horsetail whisk. "I told you to go down the mountain to go to school, but you didn't do it properly. You came back before you finished high school, and all you know is to stay in the temple and play games every day. If I can't control you, then I'll let someone else control you. No one else is as soft-hearted as I am … "
The young man was about to say something when his expression suddenly turned solemn. He reminded his two companions, "They're here …"
At this time, the old Taoist's expression turned serious. He lifted the young man up and stuffed the relic into the young man's arms. In a low voice, he said, "Ping 'er, father brought you out to see the world. Don't try to be brave. Hide it well later."
With that, he pushed the young man. The young man flew into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
At this time, the sky was already dark. A swarm of insects flew over, covering the sky. It was majestic and unstoppable. In the distance, there were many airplanes circling, as if they were monitoring the situation.
"Scary. If they spread to densely populated areas, there will be many more casualties." The high monk was compassionate. His expression was solemn.
The young man said, "Unfortunately, my Ghost Summoning Banner was not completed. I still lack the three Ghost Kings to be the banner's owners. Otherwise, these insects would not be able to cause trouble in the human world."
The old Taoist laughed. A colorful treasure appeared in his hand. He said, "This treasure that I've painstakingly refined for many years has just come out of the furnace. I was looking for a sword to test it on. Today, my Mount Indigo Monastery will be famous throughout the world. "
As the three of them spoke, the swarm of insects had already approached. Under the swarm of insects, there was a person flying in pursuit.
With their eyesight, the three of them saw that person almost at the same time.
"As expected, Brother Long has also come." The young man smiled slightly.
The high monk's brows relaxed. "Since we have the help of a True Dragon, the four of us should be able to solve this problem."
The old Taoist was stunned. "Sigh, another one is here to steal our business."
In the blink of an eye, Vigilante A was in front of the three of them. At this time, the swarm of insects above his head stopped flying and gradually descended.
In the System Space.
Fang Ning could not persuade him, so he was reading novels in the System Cyber Cafe to relieve his boredom.
At this time, Sir System's solo walk ended.
The System said, "Go out and chase away the three of them. Don't come and steal my kills."
Fang Ning said, "F * ck, if you need me, then give me the body. I have a phobia, I'm not going …"
The System said, "That's what you said."
Fang Ning said, "Stop. I'll go out then …"
Vigilante A glanced at the three of them. He confirmed that he only knew one of them. It was the Bodhisattva Spirit King.
"Bodhisattva, long time no see. How have you been?"
"You're too kind, Brother Dragon. I've been doing well. I've also reorganized the group, and some of the rascals have been chased out. A few days ago, Gui Er reported that they've already negotiated with the Greater Rat Demon Clan. They promised to restrain the Greater Rats and not touch the underground pipelines. Brother Dragon, don't worry. "
When Fang Ning heard this, he thought, 'This is great news. I didn't come here for nothing.' However, Gui Er seemed to be afraid of Vigilante A, so he did not dare to come here personally to report.
Vigilante A said, "Thank you, Bodhisattva."
After Fang Ning said a few polite words, he started to worry. This System was not human and did not understand the ways of the world. Chasing people away would easily offend them. Not to mention the Bodhisattva Spirit King, the other two must be bosses of the same level. It was easy to say to chase them away, but how was he supposed to do it?
Vigilante A was in a daze. The other three did not rush him, thinking that he was thinking about how to deal with the swarm of insects that was about to descend from the sky.
After a while, the senior monk said, "I have a set of Four Symbols Formation here, and it was given to me by a Fellow Daoist from the previous world. Its power is boundless, and it can form a sealed space that can suppress all those insects. However, it needs the cooperation of four top-notch powerhouses. "
In the System Space.
The System said, "There's no need to chase them away. Keep them here, but tell them to only maintain the enclosed space and not let a single insect escape. We'll do the killing. "
Fang Ning said, "Thank goodness I didn't say anything. Sir System, it's hard for me to do things your way."
The System said, "Hurry up."
Vigilante A gave a fist salute to the monk, "It's rare for a monk to have such an idea. If that's the case, then hurry up and do it. The three of you are monks, so it's not suitable for your hands to be stained with too much blood. There are thousands of these insects, and it's hard to kill them all. Let me do it for you, and get rid of these demons. "
The monk smiled, feeling very satisfied. It was said that Vigilante A was arrogant, but after interacting with him personally, he was surprised to see that this person was so thoughtful, which was rare.
Of course, it was not convenient for him to be stained with too much blood, but if he followed the method of the Upper Realm and only suppressed the swarm of insects, in the current situation, it would be no different from planting a ticking time bomb. He did not know how many evil people would think about it, so it was best to clean up the place once and for all.
Bodhisattva Spirit King also nodded, "That's fine, I don't want to kill too much, so I'll have to trouble you, Brother Dragon."
The old Taoist from Mount Indigo Monastery saw that two of the three had agreed. He looked at the treasure in his hand and sighed. "Forget it. A monk should be compassionate. Subduing demons is my duty, but I can't bear to kill so many at once. It's just a pity that my treasure …"
At that moment, Ma Ping, who was hiding in a depression in the ground, heard his father's words. He could not help but pout and said softly, "Dad, who are you trying to fool? Who knows how many souls of harmful demons and ghosts were used to cultivate that treasure of yours, and you're afraid of killing too many? You're afraid of exposing yourself in front of the other two monks, aren't you? "
The four of them finished their discussion, and the swarm of insects was still slowly descending. As expected, the monk immediately took out a thick silk cloth with some words and images embroidered on it.
The monk said, "This Four Symbols Formation is powerful, but it's easy to set up. In the eyes of an expert, it can be learned on the spot. It's the proud work of my good friend from the Upper Realm, you three will understand once you see it."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and the silk cloth slowly flew towards Bodhisattva Spirit King.
Bodhisattva Spirit King did not even take it, he only glanced at it and nodded, "I understand."
Then, Bodhisattva stretched out his hand and pointed, and the silk cloth flew back to the old Master.
The old Master twirled his beard, looking relaxed, and glanced at the silk cloth.
He felt bitter in his heart, but on the surface, he chuckled, "This is something that belongs to us Taoists, it's not a problem for me."
At that moment, he secretly transmitted his voice to somewhere behind him.
"Ping Er, I'll send you the Four Symbols Formation Chart in a while, hurry up and tell me how to use it …"
Ma Ping said, "Dad, you're only focused on practicing your so-called high-efficiency demon-slaying method, you've forgotten the basic skills of Taoism, and you still dare to say that you want to make Mount Indigo Monastery flourish every day …"
"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't hurry up, I'll really lose face in front of my three friends. When I get back, I'll confiscate all your game consoles, tablets, and phones, and let you play with ghosts … "
"I'll explain it to you right away, just wait for a moment. You said you brought me here to broaden my horizons, I think you already knew this would happen …"
The eminent monk naturally did not know about these interludes. When he heard the old Taoist say so, he was relieved. This was originally a gift from a fellow Taoist, so he was not worried that the famous demon-slaying expert, Taoist Ma, would not be able to understand it.
He only looked at Vigilante A with slight worry, this was a dragon, he probably did not know much about formations, he might need to explain it to him.
Unexpectedly, Vigilante A also glanced at it, his face expressionless, "It's quite simple, I've already understood it."
