Seeing this, the old demon of the black wind burst out laughing. "Hahaha......Boy, you're done!You don't have the strength to resist anymore!Today I'm going to stew you and my wife into soup and enjoy a good meal!”
As he spoke, he grabbed Li Wenbo by the collar and dragged him into the hole. He said to the woman, "Hurry, hurry, heat the pot, boil the water, we are going to start making soup!".”
The woman nodded and walked to a corner of the cave. There was a large iron pot with some firewood in it. The woman lit the wood with a fire breaker and let the water in the pot boil.
The old demon of the black wind threw Li Wenbo to the side of the pot, and then cut off his clothes with an iron fan. He looked at Li Wenbo's body and salivated. "Wow!This scholar's meat is really tender!I'm going to have to eat a lot today!”
Li Wenbo was stripped naked, and he felt a wave of humiliation and fear. He looked at the boiling water in the pot and knew he was about to be boiled into soup. There was despair in his heart. He thought, "I wanted to go home to mourn, to bury my father, and to honor my mother. I originally wanted to be admitted to the Jinshi exam, serve the country, and serve my parents. I originally wanted to be a talented, virtuous and courageous scholar. But now ......I'm going to die in this hellish place, eaten by these two monsters!What a sorrow!”
Just then, he suddenly heard a loud bang. With this loud bang, a golden light flashed through the entrance of the cave. The golden light flashed away, and a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. It was an old man in a Taoist robe, holding a long sword, with a righteous aura on his face.
The old man was none other than a local Taoist priest. He is the one who is specifically responsible for suppressing the Black Wind Old Demon. He had known for a long time that the Black Wind Demon and his wife used this method to trap passers-by and eat them. He also wanted to get rid of these two monsters for a long time, but he couldn't do it because he didn't have a chance.
This time, he got a message. There is a scholar who has to pass through the Black Wind Mountain, and this scholar is the son of an important minister of the imperial court. He thought, "This scholar will definitely be ensnared by the Black Wind Old Demon and his wife, and eaten. If I can save this scholar, I can not only get rid of the two monsters, but also make meritorious contributions to the imperial court. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”
So, he took a few apprentices and set up an ambush near the Black Wind Mountain. He waited for the Black Wind Demon and his wife to appear and capture the scholar. When he saw the old demon of the black wind and his wife dragging the scholar into the cave, he immediately took action. He slashed the artifact from the stake with his sword and rushed into the hole.
The old demon of the black wind and the woman were shocked when they saw the Taoist priest appear. They didn't expect the Taoist priest to come at this time. They didn't know how the Taoist priest had destroyed the artifact. They only feel that their plans have been disrupted and that they are facing a life-and-death crisis.
The old demon of the black wind said to the woman: "Run, run, this is a Taoist priest!."He is our mortal enemy!He's going to kill us!”
As he spoke, he picked up the iron fan and wanted to confront the Taoist priest. However, he found that his iron fan had lost its luster and had become dull and weak. It turned out that when the Taoist priest cut off the magic weapon with a long sword, he also destroyed the mana of the iron fan. The iron fan can no longer control the wind and clouds, thunder and lightning, nor can it destroy all magic weapons, nor can it enhance the power of the black wind old demon. It's just an ordinary iron fan, and it doesn't have any power.
The old demon of the black wind was terrified and did not dare to confront the Taoist priest head-on. He had no choice but to run away with the woman. However, as soon as they ran out of the cave, they were stopped by the Taoist priest's apprentice. The apprentices of the Taoist priests are all young and promising cultivators, holding various magic weapons, which is more than enough to deal with the black wind old demon and women.
The old demon of the black wind and the woman were surrounded by groups, and there was no way to escape. They could only resist desperately, but to no avail. They were soon **** by the apprentices of the Taoist priest and were ** up.
The Taoist priest walked in front of the old demon of the black wind and the woman, and said coldly: "The old demon of the black wind, you and your wife are extremely evil!You have eaten countless people and brought disaster to the people!You are still enemies of the imperial court, and you want to kill the son of an important minister!You must be punished by Heaven today!”
As he spoke, he stabbed his long sword into the heart of the Black Wind Old Demon and the woman. The old demon of the black wind and the woman let out a miserable scream, and then died of their lives. Their bodies turned into a puddle of black water and flowed into the ground.
After the Taoist priest killed the old demon of the black wind and the woman, he turned his head and saw Li Wenbo. Li Wenbo had woken up at this time, but he was still weak and weak. He saw the Taoist priest save himself and kill two youkai. He was very grateful and bowed to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest walked to Li Wenbo's side, helped him up, and gave him a pill. "Little brother, are you alright?You're badly injured!This pill can help you stop the bleeding, relieve the pain, and restore your vitality. Hurry up and eat it. ”
Li Wenbo took the pill and felt a sense of relief in his body. He said to the Taoist priest, "Thank you for saving your life!"I wasn't badly injured, just a little weak. I don't know the name of the Taoist Chief?”
The Taoist priest smiled, "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Zhenren." I am a local Taoist priest. I'm in charge of suppressing the youkai here. ”
When Li Wenbo heard this, he was shocked. He said to the Taoist priest: "It turns out that the Taoist chief is Zhang Zhenren!."Zhang Zhenren is a master in the world, and his fame shocks the world!I have heard of Zhang Zhenren's name for a long time, and it is really a blessing to see him today!”
Zhang Zhenren waved his hand, "Little brother has won the prize." I'm just a monastic, nothing remarkable. I'm just doing what I can to get rid of some evil and protect some people. Little brother doesn't have to be so polite. ”
Li Wenbo said: "The Taoist chief is modest. The mana of the Taoist is profound, which is admirable. The Dao Leader was able to destroy the magic weapon of the Black Wind Old Demon and kill him and his wife, which was really a great merit for the people!”
Zhang Zhenren said: "The little brother is too praised. In fact, this time it was possible to succeed thanks to the little brother. Little brother, although you are a scholar, you have extraordinary wisdom and courage. You can see through the tricks of the Black Wind and his wife, and provoke them with words to make them lose their minds. In this way, I have a chance to destroy their magic weapons and kill them. If it weren't for your help, little brother, I'm afraid I'd have had to work hard. ”
Li Wenbo said: "The Taoist chief has won the award. It was only a little instinct and luck that I was able to escape. If the Dao Master hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid I would have become the belly of the Black Wind Old Demon. ”
Zhang Zhenren said: "Little brother, don't be modest. Your instincts and luck are your skills. You are a talented, virtuous and courageous scholar, and I admire you very much. I want to ask you a question, would you like to tell me?”
Li Wenbo said: "If the Taoist chief has any questions, please feel free to ask." As long as I know, I will answer truthfully. ”
Zhang Zhenren said: "Little brother, are you from **?."Why did you pass through the Black Wind Mountain?Do you have any purpose?”
When Li Wenbo heard this, his heart was sour. He remembered his father and mother, his hometown and his dreams. He said to Zhang Zhenren: "Dao Chief, please forgive me for not being able to tell you my name and place of origin. Because it involves my privacy and security. But I can tell you where I came from and what I am for. ”
Zhang Zhenren nodded, "Okay, okay, then please tell me." ”
Li Wenbo said: "I am a scholar, I am from the capital. I took the township test, but before the results came out, I got bad news. My father was a high-ranking court minister who was sent to suppress the peasant army. However, in one battle, he was unfortunately killed. When my mother got the news, her heart was cut and she fainted in bed. I left the capital in a hurry in order to go home for the funeral and bury my father's remains. When passing through the Black Wind Mountain along the way, he encountered an ambush by the Black Wind Old Demon and his wife, and almost lost his life. ”
When Zhang Zhenren heard this, his heart moved. He thought: "This scholar's father is an important minister of the imperial court?"Could it be ......He thought of a possibility, so he asked, "Little brother, is your father's surname Li and his name Li Wenzhong?"”
When Li Wenbo heard this, he was shocked. He asked, "How do you know, Daoist?"”
Zhang Zhenren said: "I got the news from the imperial court. Your father, Li Wenzhong, was a loyal and good general, and the emperor respected him very much, and gave him a glorious nickname. Your mother was also a virtuous lady, the emperor was very sympathetic to her, and your parents were the pillars of the country and the role models of the people. You should be proud and proud of them. ”
When Li Wenbo heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He said, "The Taoist is right. My father is Li Wenzhong, and my mother is his wife. I've always been proud of them and I've always wanted to carry on their legacy. But now ......But I can't go back to them, I can't do my filial piety for them. ”
Zhang Zhenren couldn't bear it when he saw Li Wenbo's sadness. He said, "Little brother, don't be sad. Your parents have gone to heaven and they will see your efforts and achievements. You also have a chance to make your dreams come true. ”
Li Wenbo asked, "What chance?"”
Zhang Zhenren said: "You took the township test, but you haven't waited for the results to come out, right?"”
Li Wenbo nodded.
Zhang Zhenren said: "Then I can tell you a good news. The results of the township test have come out. And ......You've passed the test!”
Li Wenbo listened to it and was pleasantly surprised. "Really?" he askedReally?”
Zhang Zhenren said: "Of course it's true!."I got the news from the imperial court. You came out on top in the township exam and were admitted as a lifter. You can take the entrance examination and hopefully pass the Jinshi exam. This is a rare opportunity that you must take advantage of. ”
When Li Wenbo heard this, he was excited. He said, "It's ......That's great!That's great!I finally got it!I can finally serve my country and serve my parents!”
Zhang Zhenren smiled, "Little brother, congratulations!."Congratulations!You are really a talented, virtuous and courageous scholar!I admire you!I would like to give you a gift as a congratulatory and encouragement to you. ”
Li Wenbo said: "The Taoist chief is too polite. The Taoist saved my life, which is already the greatest favor to me. I don't dare to accept any more gifts from the Taoist. ”
Zhang Zhenren said: "Little brother, don't be polite. This gift is not important to me, but it is very useful for you. This gift is my sword. ”
As he spoke, he handed the long sword in his hand to Li Wenbo. "I got this long sword from a sword immortal. It can cut off everything, it can protect all justice, and it can enhance your wisdom and courage. As long as you have it, no one will be able to stop you!”
Li Wenbo took the long sword, and felt a warm current coming from the sword body, flowing all over his body. He felt that his body was stronger and his mind clearer. He said to Zhang Zhenren: "Dao Chief, this long sword is too precious, how can I accept it?"”
Zhang Zhenren said: "Little brother, don't shirk. You deserve this longsword. You are a talented, virtuous and courageous scholar, and you will definitely be able to use it to make a great career. You just have to remember one thing, don't let it be contaminated with ** and greed, don't let it hurt the innocent and justice. You have to use it to protect yourself, protect your loved ones, protect your country. Can you do it?”
Li Wenbo nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep in mind the teachings of the Daoist and live up to the expectations of the Daoist." ”
Zhang Zhenren smiled, "Very good, very good." Little brother, you can go home now. My apprentice and I will drop you off the mountain and arrange for a carriage to take you home. You don't have to worry about safety on the road, we will protect you. ”
Li Wenbo said: "The Taoist is really good. The Taoist not only saved my life, but also gave me so many things. I can't thank you enough. ”
Zhang Zhenren said: "Little brother is not welcome. These are the things I should do. I only hope that you will be able to return home safely and make your dreams come true. ”
Li Wenbo said: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard." ”
Zhang Zhenren said: "That's good, that's good." Let's go, then. ”
With that, he and his apprentice took Li Wenbo out of the cave and went down to the Black Wind Mountain. They found a carriage at the bottom of the mountain and let Li Wenbo get into it. They also prepared some food and water for Li Wenbo, and told him to take a break on the road.
Li Wenbo expressed his deep gratitude to Zhang Zhenren and his apprentices and bid them farewell. Then he got into the carriage and drove in the direction of his hometown. He decided to go to Beijing again after three years of filial piety for his parents, and during these three years he would devote himself to studying and Xi, and strive to become a blockbuster after three years. Later, Li Wenbo was indeed admitted to the Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Hall, and rose step by step, becoming a great person like his father. And this experience when he was young was also adapted by the folk and became a well-known legend.
