This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 119 People Need to Have a Respectful Heart

The entrance to the Fairy Fox Cave on Xiaosheng Mountain is under a mountain wall covered with vines. The vines will automatically open when you pass by.

After walking a hundred steps into the cave, the view suddenly opens up, and the scenery inside also opened the eyes of Liu Hongyu and others.

The entire underground cave is very large, with pavilions and towers just dotted around it. They do not break the natural landscape of the cave, but also give it a unique sense of tranquility and harmony.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, the cave is illuminated by a small underground stream that emits a faint glow, and the surrounding stalactites reflect star-like brilliance, making it look even more magnificent.

Xiaowen and others couldn't see it, they just thought it was beautiful, but Liu Hongyu had studied architecture in depth, so he knew that the layout of this place, even the superficial things were very sophisticated.

"Pah~pah~"

Xi Miao clapped his hands lightly twice, and the cave world in the karst cave gradually became brighter, but it was not as bright as the sunshine in the mountains. Instead, it was less dim than before.

Xi Miao was walking in front, and Liu Hongyu and four others were carrying the monk and following behind. They looked left and right along the way, but they didn't see anyone else.

"Senior Xi Miao, do you live here alone?"

"I guess so. Few people come to my house because I like quietness. But you are naturally different. Come with me!"

As Xi Miao spoke, she turned around and gave a few people a smile, then quickly walked towards a small pavilion on the west side. There were gauze curtains hanging in the pavilion, as well as tables, cushions and other items. She walked over first and waved her hand. Some tea sets and other items on the table were automatically placed, and plates of cakes flew out from the food boxes arranged next to them.

They are still children, so they should prefer snacks!

Xi Miao thought so, turned around and greeted the people who were coming over.

"Come, come, come and sit down. This is where we can talk!"

Liu Hongyu and others also hurried over, threw the monk aside, and sat down at the table. Xi Miao asked about Zhuang Lin while personally making tea for them.

The Fairy Fox Cave is not a scary place, and Senior Xi Miao is the same as always, which makes everyone feel at ease.

There was nothing much to talk about with Zhuang Lin, so he just stopped at the retreat. What Liu Hongyu and others really wanted to talk about was the Wanzhang Foguang Temple.

Although Xi Miao seemed to have no interest in this monk and the Foguang Temple, Liu Hongyu cared a lot about them, so he quickly turned the topic to this and recounted his previous experiences one by one.

After Liu Hongyu and the others finished talking about the situation in Xianluo Mountain, Xi Miao ground tea powder with a thoughtful look on his face. Seven points of his thoughts were on the Xiantian diagram, and only three points were on the temple. Of course, the words he spoke were about the latter.

"It sounds like an evil temple, but there aren't many purely evil temples, and it's hard to cultivate Buddha's light. And he knows me. But it's easy to find out. They must have kept what they told you secrets, so I can just ask."

As Xi Miao spoke, he poured some ground tea powder and seasonings into the teapot, let the fire boil first, then turned sideways and blew a breath at the unconscious monk over there.

"Watch out! When you're out there, be sure to watch out for the spells used to confuse people!"

As soon as Xi Miao finished speaking, the monk on the other side reacted and woke up in a daze.

At this moment, Xi Miao's originally calm expression changed. Only her eyes changed slightly and the corners of her mouth moved slightly. Such subtle changes, like ripples on a calm lake, gave her a strange sense of charm.

"Monk!"

It was just a call, and on the surface the voice was no different from before, but even Liu Hongyu was shocked to realize that the voice had directly penetrated the barriers of his mind, giving him a strange feeling of calling someone in his heart. If they felt this way, the monk himself should feel even worse.

The monk who had just woken up felt as if someone was grabbing his heart and lifting it up. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and looked up to see Xi Miao's face with a faint smile.

At this moment, the monk's pupils dilated, and a thousand feelings and fantasies emerged in his mind. The Buddha's light in his mind dissipated, and his true nature was extinguished, leaving only Xi Miao's figure.
Xi Miao's expression returned to calm. With a wave of his hand, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone flew out from a corner and landed in front of the monk.

"Write down all the daily affairs of your temple, as well as the secrets that you won't tell anyone! I'll kill you myself as a reward!"

"Yes Yes!"

The monk responded with a look of joy on his face, immediately lay down and began to grind ink, and soon started to write.

Liu Hongyu and others stared blankly at everything that happened. It seemed that with just one look, the monk had completely lost himself?

Mu Hongwen leaned over to look at the monk, then looked at the beautiful senior sitting there, and couldn't help but shrink his body slightly.

The others were not much better than Xiaowen. Liu Hongyu frowned as he watched, and the other three also felt an inexplicable sense of horror. Killing him with their own hands was a reward?

"Senior Xi Miao, is this your method of bewitching souls?"

After careful consideration, Liu Hongyu still asked the question. After all, his master said that Xi Miao was trustworthy.

"My method of bewitching the soul? Uh hahahaha"

Upon hearing this, Xi Miao looked at Liu Hongyu and couldn't help laughing, but her smile made the latter subconsciously avoid her sight, so she forced herself to put on a stern face again.

Oh, it's so boring. I have to maintain my senior demeanor.
"For those in this sect, what I just did might be considered a method of bewitching the soul. However, he is a low-level evil monk and a lecherous monk. It is not worth my effort. At best, he is just obsessed with lust!"

As he spoke, Xi Miao looked seriously at the five people including Liu Hongyu, and patted his chest.

"The heart is the abode of the spirit. Those whose spirits are disturbed are particularly susceptible to external influences. The true method of bewitching the soul is much more terrifying than this. If there is a chance and your master is present, I can help you experience it!"

Xi Miao added another sentence.

"Although I can grasp the subtle changes in strength and weakness, I still dare not try it on you rashly. You are all the seedlings of the true immortal way. If something goes wrong, I can hardly guarantee that I can restore you to consciousness. So what he said before about the eternal damnation is true to some extent!"

"Well, the tea is ready, let's drink some first!"

Xi Miao smiled, picked up the teapot, and enthusiastically poured tea for everyone.

These five people are worthy of being the real master's direct disciples. Each of them is naturally talented and has a flawless feeling, which makes Xi Miao feel close to them.

Although it was only their first meeting, they were the true disciples of the immortal way, and with the good filter brought by Zhuang Lin, Xi Miao regarded them as real juniors.

However, these five younger generations looked at the teacups but were not in a hurry to drink, and seemed to be hesitant.

"Why, you don't like tea?"

Hearing Senior Xi Miao's question, Liu Hongyu glanced at Xiaowen and the others, then took a sip from the teacup. The others also began to drink tea, with Xiaowen mumbling something like "a gift from the elders" and taking a sip.

However, this time, as soon as the tea soup entered their mouths, they immediately felt a refreshing, sweet and mellow feeling, which was completely different from the "salty, spicy and strange soup" at the Zhao family, which made everyone's eyes light up immediately.

“Delicious!”

Xiao Wen said it subconsciously, and then he took another big sip without fear of the heat. His reaction made Gao Ran, who pretended to drink the tea but his lips didn't even touch it, couldn't help but taste it, and then Hui'er and Wang Min'er.

"Really?" "This tea is surprisingly delicious!" "Much better than last time!"

"Really? Haha ...."

Xi Miao raised her sleeves to cover half of her face, and her body was shaking with laughter. Looking at them like this, one could tell that they were scared by the "sweet, sour, bitter and spicy tea" outside.

The tea drinking incident brought the relationship between them closer, and they were less restrained when talking. Liu Hongyu even asked Xi Miao some questions about cultivation, until a voice interrupted their conversation.

"My Fair Fox Lady, I've finished writing! Come and take a look!"

Everyone looked at the monk. He had already put down his pen and had unknowingly written on many sheets of paper, which were spread out on the ground beside him.

Xi Miao hooked her finger, and all the papers flew over and landed on the table in front of them.

But the monk actually wanted to crawl over. The desire in his eyes made Xi Miao feel nauseous. He clenched his hands with his right hand, and after a series of "crackling" sounds, the monk fell to the ground and died.

"Senior, why did you really kill him?"

"Why, you are so soft-hearted, you feel sorry for him?"

Xi Miao looked at Xiao Wen who was speaking, and the latter quickly shook his head.

"He deserved to die. I just wondered if he hadn't written the whole thing."

"Don't worry, he will definitely write about everything he has access to. If he doesn't cover it, he won't be able to write about it even if he is alive."

While speaking, Xi Miao glanced at the table and saw some eye-catching words. Liu Hongyu and others also subconsciously picked up the paper and started reading.

The words on the paper are not big, but there is so much paper, so it obviously contains a lot of content and is written in great detail.

Wanzhang Foguang Temple is indeed a large temple that welcomes many believers. It accepts incense and allows people to stay overnight. It helps people to eliminate disasters and solve problems, provides people with eternal lights, performs rituals, and holds temple fairs and celebrations during festivals.

But he also did a lot of dirty things behind the scenes, even colluding with bandits, doing many shameful things, and handling many special matters for some powerful people.

For example, when they went to dig up the innate map this time, even the monks knew that this monster was a good one before they came.

Liu Hongyu and others watched it seriously, but Xi Miao was not interested at all. After a few glances, he couldn't help but say.

“It looks just ordinary.”

"Ah?" "Normal?" "Senior, is this normal?"

Everyone was protected so well in Yinxian Valley that, except Liu Hongyu and Wang Miner, no one else had ever seen any of the dangers of the world. Even Wang Miner was confused by it.

Several people asked in surprise, and Xi Miao smiled after hearing it.

"I can only say that there are too many filthies in the world. Nowadays, there are many people who worship Buddhism and believe in it. From this point of view, it is indeed not proper, but among the many strange temples, it can't even be ranked!"

After all, he came from a place where the orthodox way of immortality was passed down. Perhaps he had been practicing in seclusion in this secluded environment for many years and was completely unaware of the dangers outside.

Xi Miao thought about this and couldn't help but shook his head slightly, but fortunately their senior brother was still decisive.

"Of course, this monk may not be able to write the full story due to his status, but this is the general idea. He knows my name, but it is just a nickname to scare people. It shows that my cultivation is not up to par. Those who really know me will call me King Ximiao."

Liu Hongyu and others nodded slightly. Indeed, this part of the matter was also written in the letter left in the valley.

Having said that, Xi Miao's expression straightened and he gave another warning.

"Due to certain agreements, it's not convenient for great demons to go to the bustling places of the mortal world. Even I won't show up unless it's absolutely necessary, so I won't accompany you to Xiangyang."

After Xi Miao scanned most of the papers, she roughly understood what the children wanted to do, and began to give them some advice.

"Although this temple is just an ordinary one, it is deeply entangled. If you were to show up and cast a spell, it would naturally be the fastest. However, apart from causing some insignificant disturbances, many deeper secrets might also be lost."

"My suggestion is, since you're already looking for some experience, why not take this opportunity to hone your skills and use your intellect to explore the truth? If you want to get to the bottom of it, it's best to learn how to leverage your strength to lure the enemy out of their hole. There's a lot of potential here, whether it's the common people, the government, pilgrims, the powerful, or even the nearby temples and this temple itself."

Xi Miao looked at the three teenagers and Xiao Wen, who was obviously younger, and finally looked at Liu Hongyu and said seriously.

"After all, you haven't reached the level of being able to defeat ten opponents with your own strength. Even though you are the true disciple of the immortal way, you should not underestimate the people in the world. You should also be in awe of the dangers in the world!"

Xi Miao looked at the monk on the ground again.

"Take the Wanzhang Jinguang Temple for example. Even though many of the monks there are extremely filthy, the temple itself can be considered a bodhisattva's place of practice to a certain extent."

Liu Hongyu nodded.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. Hongyu will keep it in mind!"

Xiaowen on the side suddenly asked a question at this moment.

"If we capture a few more monks and send them to you, Senior, wouldn't you know everything just by glaring at them?"

Xi Miao couldn't help but give Xiao Wen a blank look.

"Hey kid, do you want me to feed you?"
