Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 399: The Miserable "Rations" on the Road to Escape

Qu Xiaoxiao laughed angrily:

"You have martial ethics, but you helped the Xu family harm children? Would your Three Pure Ones Master allow you to do this?"

"I'm beating you to enforce justice. If I can't kill you, you old bastard, today, it means I haven't practiced enough!"

Chen Shanqiang argued:

"Those children were merely sacrifices. What country wouldn't prepare some for festivals? Besides, for the sake of the eternal prosperity of the Wuyue Kingdom, what's the point of sacrificing a few children?"

"If the country lacks qualified descendants to continue its bloodline, chaos will break out, and many more innocent children will die tragically."

"And these children, the Xu family has given money. It's like their families are willing to sacrifice them to the country. Why are you, a little girl, meddling in their affairs?"

Chen Shan tried to persuade Qu Xiaoxiao earnestly:

"I see that you have some experience in Taoism. You can't get involved in today's affairs. It's better for you to return early. I will report the matter to His Majesty."

Qu Xiaoxiao sneered: "You still think of me."

Chen Shan was pleased: "Isn't that right? Cultivation is not easy. We are all fellow Taoists. He who knows the current situation is a hero. Fellow Taoist, please don't throw your life away for a trivial matter."

Qu Xiaoxiao took a step forward, stretched out her hand to grab the bun on the back of his head, and with her other hand, slapped him in the face again and again.

"Little things?"

"You call 1000 lives a small matter?"

Chen Shan was stunned by her sudden slap. He thought that he was just not paying attention and that the girl got the upper hand, but then he thought that men should not fight with women.

Now the little girl actually hit him in the face. Does she think he is made of clay?

His face immediately turned grim, he pinched his five fingers together, and used the Taoist technique of moving the five ghosts, wanting to teach Qu Xiaoxiao a lesson. Unfortunately, his skills were not as good as Qu Xiaoxiao's.

Five little ghosts appeared as he made hand gestures, and pounced towards Qu Xiaoxiao with their fangs and claws. Unfortunately, before they could get close to her, Qu Xiaoxiao slapped them one by one, and they all flew away, their souls shattered in an instant.

Chen Shan: "..."

Oh no! Who is this girl? She's so brutal.

He immediately bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood on a talisman, then summoned five more little ghosts. The Yin energy of these five little ghosts was obviously much stronger than the previous five, and their attacks were more fierce.

Unfortunately, the opponent he met was Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at the five little ghosts opposite her, and roughly understood why this evil Taoist encouraged Xu Liangdi to rape the children.

The so-called "pure yang blood" can give birth to children is pure nonsense, but the pure yang energy of these children can help Chen Shan practice evil magic.

After these children died in fear, he could use them as ghosts to control.

He's truly a demon. He's responsible for so many tragedies, yet he's still been crowned the Imperial Preceptor by the Emperor. A country with such an Imperial Preceptor is doomed to ruin sooner or later.

This demonic Taoist priest was not mentioned in the original plot. However, the Wubie Kingdom did fall apart due to the lack of a good successor, which shows that Chen Shan's method did not succeed in the original world.

It’s just that the male and female protagonists have the female protagonist’s golden finger - the shopping mall she brought with her when she traveled through time. After the country was divided, it still provided them with a steady supply of abundant supplies, so it did not affect the wealthy lives of these families.

But now, since Qu Xiaoxiao had guessed the origins of these little ghosts, she did not try to disperse their souls.

She took out a piece of black, rounded soul-nourishing wood from the refining room in her cultivation space. Gently chanting a spell, the five little ghosts slowly ceased their attacks.

Then, one after another, with dull expressions, they automatically walked through the space contained in the soul-nourishing tree.

Chen Shan was shocked when he saw this.

He was indeed a Taoist priest in the past, but because he did too much cheating and deceiving, he was expelled from the Taoist temple by his master. By chance, he found a Taoist secret book in a tomb, which recorded some secret techniques.

Chen Shan's aptitude is average, and he hasn't made any progress after practicing the secret arts for several years. Most of his techniques are sometimes effective and sometimes not.

He had only mastered the Five Ghosts Moving Technique. However, he mainly used these ghosts to protect himself or harm others. He didn't know anything else.

So, he relied on these various skills, coupled with the skills of cheating and deceiving, to get the position of the imperial teacher. He also fooled Xu Liangdi into believing him completely, so that she caused such a bloody incident.

Who would have thought that today, I would run into a tough guy.

As the saying goes, an expert can tell the difference with just one move. Although Chen Shan was a novice, he could sense from Qu Xiaoxiao's moves that this girl was definitely more skilled than him.

Chen Shan was a man of great adaptability. He didn't care about his Imperial Master's face and knelt on the ground with his knees weakened.

"Goddess, it's all because of me, the old Taoist, who didn't recognize the real Mount Tai. How dare I speak nonsense in front of you, the real Taoist. Please don't blame me, the real Taoist. I will pack up my bedding and go back to the mountain~"

This is all a mess.

Qu Xiaoxiao sneered:

"Why did you go back to the mountains? To continue practicing evil so you can come out and harm others?"

"No, no, no,"

Chen Shan quickly denied:

"When the young Taoist returns to the mountains, he will abandon his past cultivation, cleanse his heart, and become a new man. From now on, he will eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, atone for his past mistakes every day."

After saying this, he remained kneeling and raised a black, white, and red spirit-calling banner above his head with both hands:

"Except for those who are still alive, the dead children are buried in the back mountain. As for their souls, they are all here."

Then he smiled flatteringly and said:

"Over the years, I have accumulated quite a bit of wealth, which I have placed in this Chaoyang Palace behind me. Female Bodhisattva, please take what you want. I will not keep a single cent!"

"I only hope that the female Bodhisattva will show some respect to me and allow me to personally bid farewell to Your Majesty tomorrow morning, so as not to disturb Your Majesty."

Qu Xiaoxiao reached out and took the soul-calling flag, and used her spiritual sense to explore inside.

I discovered that the souls of the children were indeed inside. However, the spirit-calling banner was too small. The souls were squeezed in like sardines, feeling very uncomfortable.

He immediately made a hand gesture and let those children enter his soul-nourishing tree.

Then she tore the spirit-calling banner into several pieces and threw them aside. Under the damage of her spiritual power, the spirit-calling banner had completely lost its original function.

It became no different from an ordinary piece of rag.

Chen Shan looked at the tattered spirit-calling banner, his eyes filled with regret and reluctance. This was a magical instrument he had worked so hard to obtain, and now it was destroyed.

Qu Xiaoxiao sneered:

"I don't believe you. You've got a good plan. If I let you leave the palace with dignity, I'll be the one who leaves without dignity."

The emperor must have sent people to harass her everywhere.
