No taboos

Is Chapter 208 wrong?
The evil dragon swam to the high ground and bowed its head several times to signal.

The villagers couldn't believe it, but staying here would mean death.

Some villagers bravely climbed onto the back of the evil dragon.

The evil dragon signaled everyone to come up.

Its seven-inch wound was fatal, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

It only has the strength to make one trip.

All the villagers finally stood up tremblingly.

The evil dragon carried them and used up its last bit of strength to send them to the distant shore.

When people came ashore one after another, it was already unable to hold on and was swaying. Several people screamed and fell into the water.

The evil dragon slowly used its claws to push them up again.

After the last person walked ashore, its whole body went limp and it slid powerlessly into the river and never came up again.

The old Taoist priest's eyes had turned bloodshot, and his entire body had transformed into a terrifying monster, with black hair, black horns, and black scales growing everywhere!
"You can never go wrong in slaying demons and monsters!"

"Good disciple, I will leave this important task to you!"

"Always remember the purpose of your sword training!"

Although the old Taoist priest had completely changed, his figure was slowly fading and he was about to disappear from this world.

At the same time, the pine tree turned back into a whisk and the evil dragon turned back into a turtle shell.

They met with the old Taoist priest separately.

Xu Yuan immediately felt that some strong constraints in this void were transferring towards him!

But when the transfer was halfway through, it suddenly stopped.

The old Taoist priest did not notice this, and it turned into black wind and black sand again, and fell towards the old elm tree in the backyard with a whoosh.

That is its main body, and the dead branch is just a branch on it.

So the old elm tree became a bait.

The old Taoist priest is the fish.

Dive into the cage.

The carriage was closed and wrapped with animal sinew ropes on the outside.

Xu Yuan had already made this arrangement before.

The old Taoist priest rushed around in the carriage, roaring and shouting: "I am free!"

"I've proven that slaying demons and monsters is never wrong!"

"It's not my fault that I accidentally killed that evil beast!"

“All ambitious people make this mistake!”

"No one could have imagined that such a vicious beast would never do evil and would even save people from the flood!"

After seeing the evil dragon saving people, Xu Yuan finally figured it out.

"You're not free."

Xu Yuan has already arrived at the backyard.

The carriage expanded to a size of ten feet, and the old elm tree and the old Taoist priest were put in it.

“You are also people who learn swordsmanship.” The old Taoist priest roared in the carriage, shaking it violently. “Faced with such a vicious dragon, you also used the Dragon Slaying Sword to pierce his vital point!
You made the same honest mistake as I did!
I have proven that I am not at fault, so why can’t I be freed?!”

Xu Yuan's mind moved, and the Dragon Slaying Sword flew back from the water.

Jianwan also flew back with them.

Under Xu Yuan's manipulation, the sword ball and the Dragon-Slaying Sword were tightly stuck together.

Xu Yuan said: "What I stabbed into the evil dragon's seven inches was not the Dragon Slaying Sword, but my own sword ball!"

After Xu Yuan saw the true face of the old elm tree, he began to think about how to break the situation and rescue everyone.

I gradually felt that since I embarked on that road, especially after meeting the old Taoist priest, everything I experienced was like... a drama that was arranged in advance!
The old Taoist priest has always wanted Xu Yuan to control the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Xu Yuan wanted to see the outcome of this drama - to find out the inside truth of this strange scene, and he had no choice but to do as he wished.

But it couldn't really be what he wanted.

The dragon-slaying sword fell and pierced the evil dragon's vital point.

But in fact, the sword ball has always been close to the Dragon Slaying Sword.

The sword ball only penetrated the seven inches of the evil dragon.

After causing the so-called "fatal injury", the Dragon Slaying Sword was inserted into the wound, thus deceiving the old Taoist priest.

Otherwise the little boy and the villagers would not have appeared.

It is impossible to get a glimpse of the truth behind it.

The old Taoist priest roared wildly in the carriage and rushed forward with all his might, trying to get out.

"Asshole! How dare you, an unworthy disciple, plot against our Master!"

"I'm about to be free, I'm about to be free!"

Xu Yuan said coldly: "If you want to be free, you have to let me do what you did back then.

Then I will replace you and be trapped in this weird scene forever.

Until... I can find a scapegoat and repeat it all over again."

The old Taoist priest refused to answer, but just kept on roaring miserably and continued to hit the carriage, making a dull thud.

"But you actually understand that you are wrong and you are deeply sinful!"

Xu Yuan shouted.

The old Taoist priest gnashed his teeth and roared, "Where did I go wrong?! I've spent my life learning swordsmanship, slaying demons and monsters for the people, and saving countless lives!
I knelt before the mountain gate and made a vow! I have been fulfilling this vow ever since!

How could I be wrong?

Xu Yuan said slowly: "If you think you are not wrong, why do you leave behind such a strong obsession!"

This strange old Taoist priest is not a zombie or a ghost, but just a person with a strong obsession with evil.

He must have felt a strong sense of guilt after accidentally killing the dragon.

A righteous man who spent his life slaying demons and protecting the people accidentally killed a good dragon.

This guilt could not be dispelled even after his death.

It's been lingering around here.

That whisk belonged to the Taoist priest back then.

The tortoise shell was also left behind by a spirit tortoise raised by the Taoist priest after its death.

The Taoist priest was buried under the old elm tree.

Everything was buried together.

The obsession seeped into the old elm tree, and the old elm tree soon died completely.

However, he did not expect that over time, this obsession was influenced by Xiao Yushan and turned into an evil spirit.

This evil spirit occupied territory in Xiaoyu Mountain, forming this strange scene.

He kept re-enacting the scene of beheading the dragon that day, hoping that someone would come in and kill the dragon as he did back then.

If other people make the same mistake when faced with such a situation, it means that I am not to blame for this mistake.

In this way, the guilt and obsession can be relieved.

But to "excuse" oneself in this way is actually to admit that one was wrong back then.

"What nonsense!" In the carriage, the evil spirit roared and roared, refusing to admit it.

Xu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and didn't argue with it.

Evil spirits are inherently crazy and stubborn.

It never dared to touch the dragon-slaying sword, which showed that it was afraid to face its own mistakes.

The evil spirit roared again in the carriage: "I can't get out, and you can't get out either!"

"Stay here with me!"

"We'll be trapped here together forever, hahahaha..."

Fu Jingyu and others have broken free from the control of the pine needles on their bodies and came to Lord Xu.

When he heard the evil spirit say this, his face suddenly changed.

"The water has receded." Xu Yuan ordered, "Go out and try."

Fu Jingyu immediately led his men out of Qingxia Temple.

"Di Youzhi, go to that path."

"Qin Ze, Mao Dabin and I will each choose a direction and see if we can get out."

Everyone responded in unison.
