"The demonic energy is everywhere. It seems that this thousand-year-old tree demon has done a lot of evil." Chen Kan came to Guobei County and just approached Guobei County, he noticed the demonic energy in the sky, covering most of Guobei County. The "Guobei County" here does not refer to the county town, but to the entire area of ​​Guobei County.

If that's all, that's fine. After all, as a thousand-year-old tree demon, it's normal to have such a momentum. What's abnormal is that there is still resentment in this demonic aura, which shows that the murderous crime committed by this thousand-year-old tree demon is quite serious.

"It's really a way to die." Chen Kan sneered.

This thousand-year-old tree demon originally developed wisdom because of hundreds of years of blessings and great merits, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, becoming a demon, and calling the people was what she should do, but she was seeking death herself to do things that harm the world, and destroying her own merits. When the merits were exhausted, it was the day when the thousand-year-old tree demon's life died.

In the story, a thousand-year-old monster who was terrifying one side finally died at Yan Chixia's hands. It is probably because of this.

Merit is actually very magical. You said that merit is very important to monks, but does ghost cultivator have merit?

According to Chen Kan's understanding, this merit is more like something blessed by heaven and earth on sentient beings. As long as you have done good deeds, you will have merit. The so-called "good deeds" are simply something that helps creatures survive better, such as the thousand-year-old tree demon protecting the land and soil, such as helping the old lady cross the road.

These species have more or less merits. If you kill a creature with merits, then the merits on them will be reversed on you and become cause and effect.

To make a simple metaphor, for example, the merit accumulated by the thousand-year-old tree demon after a hundred years of good deeds is 100. Today, he killed a person with one merit, and he had to bear the cause and effect of those creatures that have been helped by this person. In the data, the merit of the thousand-year-old tree demon has become ninety-nine.

When a creature's merit is exhausted, it will encounter all kinds of unpleasant things, choking to death when drinking water, and being stoned to death when walking... In short, all kinds of things can happen.

As for ghost cultivators, because they are condensed by the yin energy, to be honest, they are born with disasters, because other creatures in the world rely more or less on the yang energy to survive. Only ghost cultivators are because of the existence of yin energy, so let alone help, not getting close is the greatest help to sentient beings.

Therefore, it can be directly understood that ghost cultivation is an insulator of merit, just like the real world. In theory, everything needs sunlight to survive, but those fish that live below 20,000 miles in the sea do not need sunlight, and can survive. Ghost cultivation is equivalent to those fish that do not need sunlight.

"This time I happened to kill you, the old demon, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm to the people." As he said that, Chen Kan rushed towards the direction with the heaviest demonic energy, which should be near Ruolan Temple.

"There are also sword energy and evil energy in the demonic energy. It seems that Yan Chixia is already here." When approaching Ruolan Temple, Chen Kan sensed a terrifying evil energy entrenched in the demonic energy of the thousand-year-old tree demon, and the two sides were faintly in opposition.

Ruolan Temple, a broken temple, has half of the courtyard walls collapsed, and the temple inside is still relatively complete, but leaking rain should be a normal thing, and the roof has been lifted up.

Buddhist practice is still not common in this plane, but there are quite a few temples, especially such abandoned temples. What is even more speechless is that these abandoned temples often become places where monsters occupy it.

This made Chen Kan really have no good impression of these monks. In peaceful times, temples were built everywhere and Buddhism was promoted. Forget it, you protected the people nearby at critical moments, but not. These temples have gained enemies and become places where monsters occupy it.

There is a saying that "In troubled times, monks close their doors to avoid disasters, Taoists go down the mountain to save people; in prosperous times, Taoists return to retire to the Qing Dynasty, monks open their doors to make money."

Chen Kan walked into Ruolan Temple and saw a big man with bearded face sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, covered in evil spirits, with a sword box beside him, and his big eyes were just looking at Chen Kan.

"Little brother, you'd better leave while it's still dark." The big man looked at Chen Kan and said.

"Why is this? Can't people live here? Or is this your territory?" Chen Kan asked with interest.

"There are people-eating monsters here that do evil. You'd better leave before dark, otherwise you'll say that if you can see the sun tomorrow." Dahan said in a vicious tone. Although his attitude was not very good, it was obviously just to scare Chen Kan away.

"There are monsters here, that's just right. I know some magic to eliminate harm for the people." Chen Kan said haha.

"Are you a Taoist priest?" the man was stunned and asked incredible, because Chen Kan was wearing an ordinary robe. Although he was strong, he did not look like a martial arts or Taoist practitioner. At least he did not feel the aura of a monk from Chen Kan.

This proves that either this person has a better cultivation level than him, so he can't see it, or he is just a liar who can only fool people with a few tricks.

"I'm just a casual cultivator. My real name is Chen Kan and my Taoist name is Xuanxu. I see that there is still a stream of demonic energy and blood energy wrapped around my brother. It is obvious that I just fought with the monster and was injured." Chen Kan said.

When Chen Kan saw Yan Chixia, he found that the aura on his body was very strange, including the aura of Taoism and the aura of Buddhahood. Then, with the sword energy of the sword cultivation and the evil energy of the warrior, the four auras were mixed, which made Chen Kan quite interested in him.

"I am Yan Chixia, I have seen Taoist Master Xuanxu." Yan Chixia briefly introduced herself and stopped talking. Obviously, from Chen Kan's words, it is not difficult to know that Chen Kan is indeed a capable Taoist priest, but Yan Chixia still maintains a sense of distance from Chen Kan.

There was a hint of vigilance in this sense of distance. After all, he didn't know Chen Kan's foundation. It was normal to be vigilant. Chen Kan was also alert to him, but it was more of a kind of alienation, which was strange.

In fact, this is because Yan Chixia was seeking Taoism everywhere back then, but was rejected by many sects, so he really couldn't like Taoist priests.

"I wonder if fellow Taoist Yan can tell me about this monster? You and I work together to subdue this monster and eliminate harm for the people." Chen Kan naturally didn't know the reason, but he didn't care and asked.
