Philosophy Watch.
Inside the Scripture Pavilion.
Fang Xian was holding a Daoist scripture in his hand and reading it quickly.
"So, there were immortals in this world thousands of years ago … However, an ancient king severed the connection between heaven and earth and cut off the 'spiritual energy'. From then on, no one in the world could cultivate anymore. Not only did monsters become extinct, but even Daoist priests could only rely on the incense they collected. They had some special techniques, but in reality, their power was average and the restrictions were even greater. Gradually, they were no longer popular … They were reduced to fortune-telling, helping nobles check feng shui, and making pills …"
"In this world, at this moment, I am still the only one?"
Fang Xian closed the last Daoist scripture and walked out of the Scripture Pavilion.
Outside the door, more than a dozen old Daoist priests were waiting nervously. Some of their eyes were burning because they saw the hope of immortality!
"There are benefits to being a monster … At least those young Daoist priests were scared away … They don't dare to come forward and make things difficult for me."
The appearance of a monster that had not been seen for thousands of years was naturally shocking.
Fang Xian estimated that it would not be long before the bailiffs, bailiffs, and even armored soldiers came.
"I've finished reading the Daoist scripture. I'll leave now …"
He glanced at Tong Hezi. This old Daoist priest had spat out a mouthful of blood, which reduced his lifespan by at least several years. His face was pale and his hair was dry, but he was still holding on. He could not help but ask, "How did you become a monster?"
"Why should I tell you?" Fang Xian laughed and asked.
"You … We gave you the Daoist scripture … You should know this karma …" An old Daoist priest's eyes flashed as he spoke.
Fang Xian laughed. "I'm a monster, why should I follow the rules of you humans?"
As for karma, he had killed his way out of the immortal world. How could he not understand it?
This world was different from the cultivation world. The Dao of karma was not as strict. After all, there were not many immortal cultivators.
If he nodded and admitted it, he would have fallen into a trap.
At this moment, he laughed a few times, flipped over the wall, and left nimbly.
"This monster … will be a great trouble in the future!"
Tong Hezi looked at the place where Fang Xian disappeared with a solemn expression.
There were records in the Daoist scriptures that in ancient times, after some female demons gained sentience, they would read novels about scholars and beauties. All they wanted was to gain human form and find an ideal husband to fall in love with. Only a good demon would not resist when a Daoist priest came knocking on their door.
This Ape Demon was different. He was unscrupulous in his actions and adhered to the law of the jungle. He wasn't restrained and it was the righteous path of the ancient demon race!
"Abbot … That ape demon obtained our sect's Dao scripture today, and if he were to cause harm in the future, then the Imperial Court would definitely hold us accountable. What should we do?"
An elder asked.
"If we don't give it to him … he'll just kill us and rob us. Given his style, it's not like he can't do it …"
Tong Hezi let out a bitter laugh. "Fortunately, the few core scriptures of Daoist Sect have been passed down by word of mouth without being written down. Fortunately, they were not snatched away. Otherwise, if we were to die, we would be too ashamed to face our grandmaster … Where is the person who went to the mansion to report the news? Why isn't he back yet? "
"Abbot, what do you mean?"
The old Daoist whose eyes were blazing hot immediately asked as he seemed to understand something.
"For a monster to appear in this world is no small matter. I fear that the government will definitely want to kill it, and we must help from the side … perhaps we will be able to obtain the lucky chance of that ape becoming a monster …"
As Tong Hezi spoke, he saw the Elders' eyes brighten. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Even if they obtained that lucky chance, how could these Elders who were already half a step into their coffins obtain benefits that could compare to his?
…
In truth, Fang Xian wasn't too far away.
He was hiding not too far away, his ears trembling as he listened to everything that was said.
However, he really didn't care about the secret manuals of Philosophy Watch. At most, these secret manuals were the same as the cultivation methods of the cultivation world. They could only be cultivated in a single world, so what was so special about them?
What he came here for was some ancient secrets.
Now that he was satisfied, he truly descended the mountain.
Halfway down, he rubbed the point between his eyebrows and climbed up a tree, hiding himself.
"Hurry, hurry!"
On the mountain road, a group of bailiffs led the way. There seemed to be armored soldiers behind them and two Daoist priests in the middle.
As they hurried along, the bailiffs said to the Daoist priests, "You have really pierced the heavens this time. If there wasn't a monster, then the consequences … even if your monastery master is close to the prefectural magistrate, he still wouldn't be able to escape …"
"Of course it's true. We have so many fellow disciples and so many pairs of eyes. We all saw it clearly. That monster is a white ape that can speak the human language. It has infinite strength and can tear tigers and leopards apart …"
The Daoist priests hurriedly replied.
"That's good. The prefectural magistrate has ordered that if we encounter a monster, we are to capture it alive. If it dares to resist, we are to kill it!"
The bailiffs leader said coldly.
"Kill … kill it … that would be too much of a pity. After all, it is an auspicious white ape." A bailiff who seemed to be his nephew mumbled.
"Haha, what do you know?"
The bailiffs leader glared at his nephew and said, "A white ape that doesn't speak is a good monkey. It's an auspicious sign! If it opens its mouth, then it is a monster and must be beaten to death! "
"That sentence is very interesting …"
Fang Xian, who was on the tree, nodded to himself when he heard that.
Wang Shun was just a villager, but the constable was from the government, so his opinion was different.
"Lord Ye loves dragons, but when a real dragon comes out, it will be scared half to death …"
"Although the emperor likes auspicious signs, an auspicious sign that can speak is not auspicious … Otherwise, if he admits that the white ape is auspicious, but the white ape says that the world should not belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty, what should we do?"
"Any signs that can't be controlled must be eliminated! That is the instinct of a ruler! "
"Also, this world is dominated by the human race after all … The demon race, hehe …"
"If I were a human, I would probably be admired by everyone and regarded as an immortal. Although I can't avoid all kinds of spies and requests, my situation would definitely be ten times better than the white ape …"
"Destiny … Hehe, is there really destiny in this world?"
"I would like to try …"
After the group of people left, Fang Xian crossed the mountains and went down Tongxuan Mountain.
It was impossible to surround the entire mountain without mobilizing an army. As for the weak patrols on the periphery, he relied on the premonition of the Daluo Cave Mysteries Temple to avoid them one by one.
That was because he didn't want to kill too many people. Otherwise, it would be very easy for him to kill his way out.
"However … a level-one necromancer is still very weak, not to mention that I haven't mastered the Nine Transformations of Stellar Malevolence … It doesn't have much lethality. It's still a little dangerous to be surrounded by thousands of troops with just my martial arts …"
"The most important thing now is to find the calamity and cultivate …"
Just when that thought appeared, Fang Xian's expression changed.
"Robbery Power + 10"
"This … It's here again. It's that direction again. Seems like something big has happened that has something to do with me?"
Fang Xian looked in the direction of Dazheng County and thought.
