Chapter 22: The guests arrive, do you open the door?
Above the nine heavens, the Taoist priest was lying on the peach wood sword, crossing his legs, drinking the wine in the wine pot sipped, thinking about the fairy's long legs just now, it was really... Tsk tsk, it's hard to describe it, no, I have to take another sip of wine.
The Taoist priest was drinking wine and flying with his sword, and he did have such a fairy-like appearance.
———
The flying sword suddenly flew thousands of miles away, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at Fengmenzhou. The Taoist priest pretended to do a fortune telling on the flying sword, roughly determined the direction, and began to fly with the sword again.
I don’t know how far I had flew, but the Taoist priest drew his sword and found a remote mountain field. He suddenly landed. He fell straight to the ground like a lonely goose shot down.
After landing, the Taoist priest clapped his hands and stomped his feet gently. The big hole he had just smashed suddenly returned to its original state. He looked back and felt pretty good.
After walking two steps forward, the Taoist suddenly felt something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he slapped his head and finally knew something was wrong. The Taoist took out a broken flag with the words "Tianji Divine Calculation" from Xiaodongtian with his left hand, and threw it twice, coughed, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Tianji Divine Calculation, the Taoist ancestor personally passed down. Those who judged the word, fortune teller, those who read incense, those who seek marriage, those who meet each other, those who look at palmitors. Anything you can think of, I can show my hands and don't need money."
Such a loud sound suddenly sounded in the quiet forest, and countless birds were shocked in an instant.
"It's not bad, just this voice and my face, the business will be prosperous."
The Taoist priest seemed quite satisfied, and pulled the flag and ran towards the town he had just seen in the sky. After running two steps, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have no Taoist name. How could he make a living without Taoist name when walking in the world? Moreover, his real name is too big, and ordinary people really can't say it, so it's better not to mention it. It's not good to have too high cultivation. You can't even say a name. It's so worrying. It seems that you have to give yourself a famous Taoist name. What's the name?
The Taoist priest ran and thought about his Taoist nude, but his eyes accidentally shook at his little sign. With a sudden inspiration, he was the only one.

Xiaguan Town is a border town in the Suiyang Kingdom. Now, after just experiencing a military disaster, almost every household has died.
Sui Yang Kingdom is a big country in the northern part of Fengmen Prefecture. It has been three or four hundred years since the founding emperor. The country has been relatively stable for the past three or four hundred years. However, during the period of the First Emperor, demons appeared in the court. According to rumors, the demon stole the power of the country to practice, which led to constant natural disasters in the country and the people were living in poverty. After the death of the First Emperor, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the first thing he did was to eliminate the demons in the court. However, the national fortune had been lost, and natural disasters were still constant in the country. The new emperor tried his best to improve people's livelihood. He could only watch a huge dynasty heading towards the end without any solution.
Nowadays, some people in Suiyang have risen up to become kings every once in a while, resulting in civil wars and chaos. People have no way to seek help, so they can only rebel with the rebels. Seeing that the number of rebels is increasing, the court can only draw a part of the border troops back to suppress the rebels, which has led to empty border defenses and given foreign tribes the opportunity to invade.
The West of Suiyang Kingdom was originally a small country that surrendered. The monarchs of those small countries wanted to recognize the monarch of Suiyang Kingdom as their parents, and they paid tribute every year, and did not dare to make any usurpation. But now, seeing that the Suiyang Kingdom's national strength was weak and the border was empty, they united to invade the border, and advanced eastward to hunt Caogu, causing great harm to the border people of Suiyang Kingdom, especially the women in it, the hardships suffered were simply terrible. Some small towns could not bear the humiliation, and if they resisted, they were massacred and turned into complete dead towns.
The old saying goes, "When a country is about to perish, there will be monsters." It is not unreasonable.
When a country is strong and the country cannot afford to fight, there will naturally be fewer people who die. Moreover, the country has a secretariat in charge of the astronomical calendar, sacrifices of gods and ghosts, and has an official office dedicated to such events. Naturally, monsters and monsters dare not show up. But once the country is about to perish and the country's fortune is weak, and there will naturally be more people who die suddenly. This will lead to a country's spiritual energy from clear to turbidity, and there will naturally be many strange things happening in the world.
As a border town, Xiaguan Town is naturally the first to be affected when a military disaster occurs.
Just a while ago, the king and the barbarians in the west fought a battle nearby. Although the king won, he suffered heavy losses and was unable to pursue the victory, resulting in a defeated soldier breaking into Xiaguan Town, killing and robbing things. The local yamen in Xiaguan Town received the news in advance, and the officers and soldiers were incompetent and ran away before the barbarians came. This led to Xiaguan Town without a decent resistance, and the people in the town naturally suffered a major disaster.
As the saying goes, "Fortune is unparalleled, misfortune never comes alone." When the barbarians ran away, the people had not had time to restrain the corpses of their relatives, and ghosts started to rogue in the town. The yamen ran away. The people wanted to find someone who knew what was good to save their relatives in the town, but they could only raise money by themselves, but after they had enough money, they could not find someone who knew what was really good.
A few people have died in the town, and the people have nowhere to run if they want to run away, so they can only wait numbly to die. The villagers who are still left in the town are almost dying of fear. None of them are effective when they pray to God and Buddha.

The God's Consort, this is the Taoist name given to him by the Taoist priest. He made a private decision regardless of whether there are any taboos. After all, the Taoist priest's signature was stolen by the Xuanwei Zhenjun. It is a fairy weapon, and the Taoist robe is from the old blind man Zuo Yuan. He doesn't dislike him for his broken Taoist robe. How good is it to him. Now the Taoist sect immortal soldiers in the Taoist sect are considered Taoist people no matter how they are? I have a Taoist robe called the God's Consort. Who dares to have an objection? If anyone really has an objection, come on and ask my sword.

The little Taoist priest ran all the way for a day and finally ran to Xiaguan Town. The Taoist priest stopped at the entrance of the town and looked around. There was a big puddle in the south of the town. This was the place where cattle and sheep were drinking water in the town. A few days ago, several villagers were thrown away by the barbarians. Now there is still a bloody smell. Now the town is haunted, so naturally no one dares to come here to herd cattle and sheep.
The Taoist priest, also known as the magician, walked to the puddle, held a handful of water, washed his face and tidied his hair bun, and said to himself: "How can you be so handsome? But what should you do if those fairies do?"
After admiring his face, the Taoist priest turned around and walked towards the town. Before he could enter the town, he shouted from afar: "The secrets of heaven, the Taoist ancestor's personal transmission..."
In this dead town, the Taoist priest's voice was particularly loud.
As soon as the Taoist priest left the puddle, a black shadow holding the soul-summoning banner appeared, bent down and bowed three times in the direction where the Taoist priest left, and then sank into the puddle.
After calling the magician less than twice, he felt something was wrong. Why did he feel like he was about to be eaten? Could it be that his handsome face already has such an exaggerated power?
Before the God of Confucian finished his fantasy, an old man who couldn't walk steadily was supported by someone, and behind him was a group of ragged town residents, and more and more.
The old man should be a Confucian disciple when he dresses. Although Confucianism has no conflict with Taoism, he always regards the words of saints as great as the sky. "The son does not speak of strange powers and chaos." This is the teaching of the most sage masters, so Confucian disciples have always rarely deal with Taoist sects. Now if it is not for the small town, it is really in danger, and the old Confucian scholar will not ask for a Taoist priest to be killed.
The old Confucian scholar was supported by someone and walked to the godshuozi and bowed to him. It was the authentic Confucian etiquette. The godshuozi quickly returned to the Taoist sect to bow, but it was so awkward that the bows were so rude.
After the Confucian scholar finished his tribute, he asked straight to the point: "The Tao comes from a long way, thank you, thank you, thank you. But I don't know which Taoist method you have practiced for a long time."
The God's Concubine had already made a draft of her abdomen and said, "The red lotus, white lotus, green lotus leaves, the three religions were originally a family, so I was practicing the Taiqing lineage."
This sentence is so lingering but the old Confucian scholars have been choked to death. Is it really good for you, one of the Taiqing clans, to say this? You can’t speak well?
The old Confucian scholar took a breath and asked again: "Since the Taoist priest is from the Taiqing lineage, why can't he see the Taoist priest's fish tail crown?"
The God's Concubine cursed a few words in her heart. It wasn't that the Taoist Ancestor was stingy, but he wanted to steal it out. But he said, "That's right, the merits are not enough, and the ancestors don't let me wear them, so I'm going down the mountain to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, and strive for the perfect merits as soon as possible, so that I can ask for a thrust from the Taoist Ancestor."
When the old Confucian scholar heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and continued, "It's great that the Taoist priest cares about the people. It happened that there were evil spirits in the town now, which just kept the Taoist priest's merits."
After the old scholar finished speaking, he stretched out his trembling hand and grabbed the divine chassis's hand. Although the old man looked like he was dying, the power in his hand was really great. The divine chassis couldn't get it back after several times, so he could only let the old man grab it.
"But I don't know why the Long Dao name comes from, where is the blessed land of caves?"
"I am not easy to mention the name of the secular people, so the Master can call me a divine sect. As for where is the blessing of heaven and earth, the Master has a command, and no one must disclose the Master's sect when walking in the world. If the Master is forgiven, please do not forgive me."
The Taoist priest was sucking in the cold air and sweating all over his head. He wanted to shake off the Confucian priest's hand, but he couldn't get it away. After trying several times, he had no results and had to give up.
When the old Confucian heard the god's fortune teller say this, the old Confucian scholar was obviously frozen and looked at the Taoist priest suspiciously. There was no way, and this lord sounded like a liar in the world. If it were the past, it would be fine, but now the town is really haunted, so don't let this young young man fall into it in a daze.
While the people were not paying attention, the old Confucian scholar whispered to the God of Pursuit: "Young people, will you catch ghosts?"
When the magician heard this, he was excited and patted his chest and was about to speak. The old Confucian scholar hurriedly stopped him.
"Young Master, please be quiet. To be honest, the town has really dirty things and is extremely dangerous. If you want to cheat money, just cheat it in another place and don't joke about your life."
The God's calculator looked back in panic. There was nothing. He turned his head and calculated again. He looked at the same person. After finishing all this, he said to the Confucian scholar: "The Master has been worried. I have learned Taoism since I was a child. Now I have been practicing for more than 20 years. My cultivation is good. Demons and ghosts are all merits. Don't worry."
After saying that, the God's Psychic touched his belly again.
"It's just that I'm rushing on the road these two days, these Five Insect Temples..."
Before the old Confucian scholar could speak, the villagers quickly said, "Don't worry, Taoist priest, Taoist priest is an immortal with real skills, and they have enough food."
The man's voice was loud and the people nearby heard it. A group of women rushed to prepare the meal, while another group of people were already crowding with the God's Psychic Sect and walked towards the ancestral temple, as if they were afraid that the Taoist priest would run away if he was afraid that he would slow down.
The God's Psychic was rarely welcomed by others. She was already smiling from ear to ear, and was surrounded by people from the town to go to the ancestral temple.
The old Confucian scholar looked at the calculator with complicated eyes and followed silently.
No one knows it. When the God's Confucian replied to the old Confucian scholar, he looked at an unknown place in the distant mountains.
The God's Purposer looked there and said softly.
"The guest has arrived, are you opening the door?"
Within a radius of thousands of miles, the demons and monsters were trembling in an instant, crawling on the ground, as if they met the might of heaven.
