Chapter 604 Spell Wine (2/2)
Nine years ago, there was a change in the world. The Yin Qi from the Netherworld was aggravated. When it was snowing, the cold would creep into one's spirit. For those who made some accomplishment in their cultivation, they did not dare to stay out in the cold too. This might cause their spirits to be injured and then they might fall sick.
To avoid attention, Shen Lian and his company had to find a place to rest from the cold.
However, Shen Lian did not plan to do so. He thought it was an opportunity to train September and Ah Lian. The persevered spirit was grown out of from tribulation. There was no Dao formula that could produce a persevered spirit but endurance of hardship could.
Although Ah Lian was a mortal, she went through much hardship. She also had a strong side that managed to endure the coldness.
September was behind her. Although he was talented, he did not have a persevered heart of Dao. This could be seen by him seeking shortcuts from Shen Lian.
Finally, the trouble came. A Daoist with gourds on his waist and sword on his back came forward.
He stood in front of them and looked at them. The man looked like he was in his thirties. In fact, he could be more than three hundred years old. He had high attainment with Xuanmen technique and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate anything.
He said, ”My three friends, are you all tainted something unclean?”
September answered preemptively, ”No.”
The Daoist stared at them sternly, ”Excuse me for being blunt. Are any of you inhuman?”
Shen Lian smiled and replied, ”Daoist priest, are you suspecting one of us is an evil spirit?”
The Daoist focused on Shen Lian. This little Daoist priest seemed normal but he gave him an unpleasant feeling. He pulled out a mirror and said, ”It was hard to identify the evil spirit. But, if you did not mind, I could use this mirror to figure who was the culprit.”
”What if I do mind?” Shen Lian responded.
The Daoist answered respectfully, ”I am not a bad person. You don't need to worry. ”
Shen Lian questioned, ”What if you can't see anything with the mirror?”
The Daoist was surprised. He thought that his act was with good intentions. Hence, if there was nothing, it would just be a false alarm. Shen Lian sounded as though he did something wrong.
Although he thought that way, he was still kind in nature. He did not want any demons to blend in the mortals, so he replied, ”What do you plan to do?”
Shen Lian pointed the gourd and answered, ”The weather is cold. If the mirror did not show anything, you can give us the gourd filled with wine.”
The Daoist secretly cursed the little Daoist priest as he had a good taste to pick the spell wine.
