"Does the Lord of Heaven still need secular beliefs?"
The red-haired Ghost Saint asked casually.
"Need it, don't need it either."
Yan Tianjun nodded and shook his head at the same time.
Ghost Saint said: "These two people, maybe..."
The implication is that even the power of incense is too weak.
The imperial court issued a strict ban on gods, which explicitly prohibited obscene and evil sacrifices. With the completion of the Yanjun Temple, the ban on gods was obviously relaxed, as if someone deliberately made a hole.
Only then will someone climb the Western Mountain.
Such an obvious temptation would not be mistaken if the person carrying a head on his shoulders would be wrong.
Yan Tianjun said as if he wasn't worried at all: "One is never too few, two is never too many. When you add up a little, you always have some courage."
"Besides, this woman's child is an apprentice."
"apprentice?"
"Apprentice from Zhang's Blacksmith Shop."
After hearing this, the Ghost Sage immediately understood.
It turns out that everything is interconnected.
Ghost Saint couldn't help but smile. Cui Jianlu did have some tricks, but he just happened to use this opportunity to find out Zhang Yajiu's purpose and conspiracy.
Tushanjun, who understood the opponent's strategy and laid out the plan, did not object to meeting the woman.
He smiled and said, "If Tianjun wants to recruit more followers, he should tell them."
"I, Zhengfa Yantian Divine Lord, the ancient great god, have not fallen yet. As long as I have a little incense and willpower, I will kill you in the ninth heaven, build the Supreme Divine Court, and keep you as a general of the gods."
Yan Tianjun beat the snake and then took the stick and said, "I don't know, would you, fellow Taoist, be willing to be the general of the God Realm?"
"I?"
The red-haired ghost saint laughed twice: "The Lord of Heaven thinks highly of me."
A few moments.
The ragged woman came to the main hall of the Dharma Hall.
The three-foot-long statue sits upright, as if it is really a high-altitude god overlooking the sky and the earth.
The red-haired ghost saint also stood aside like a real temple blessing.
The woman knelt on the ground and lamented: "Please save my child, Master."
"Please kind lady, please tell me in detail."
…
The woman's child is named Liu Guan, a fourteen-year-old boy.
A few months ago, I was spotted when I was recruiting apprentices in the blacksmith shop. I thought that after a few years, I could become a master in charge of fire, and then my family's life would be easier.
Unexpectedly, I came back in the middle of the night a few days ago and fell ill.
I can’t tell what the illness is, I just can’t wake up.
Please tell the doctor that there is nothing wrong with you. But why can't you wake up even if there is nothing wrong with you?
After listening to the woman's description, Tu Shanjun guessed that his soul must have been lost, otherwise it wouldn't be so serious.
Tushanjun didn't ask why the old man at the drug store didn't take action.
Da Yin is hidden in the city. Since it is a medicine shop that can cure diseases, it is impossible for some trivial things to disturb the old Taoist Lord who is in charge of heaven and earth.
As for Zhang Yajiu from the blacksmith shop...
Maybe they all have the same idea.
"The Lord of Heaven knows what a good woman desires."
"Of course, divine favor cannot be repaid without asking for anything in return. If people in the world are pious, the Lord of Heaven can send down magical powers."
“What is three-point piety?”
"As soon as you worship sincerely, you will see the difference."
The woman knelt in front of the futon and bowed respectfully, seeming to be reciting some name randomly.
At this moment, a spiritual talisman fell from above and was caught by the red-haired ghost saint beside him.
The ghost saint wrote a concise seal script, then handed it to the woman in front of him, and warned: "Go back home, light the magic talisman, and call the child's nickname three times."
"The child can wake up."
The woman thanked him profusely and took out two coins from her pocket and left in a hurry.
When the person left, the red-haired ghost saint whispered softly: "It's not like Cui Jianlu's test. I didn't sense any magical means from her body. It's just that she has a sense of military ferocity in her body. I want to come to her child."
It should be that when the weapons were forged, the soul was shaken by the weapons and was unstable, and then it left the body."
"What kind of things does Zhang Yajiu do that even the apprentices can't take care of?"
Hearty laughter came, and a shadow gathered from the statue above, smiling: "How do you know, this is not Zhang Yajiu's method."
Tu Shanjun narrowed his eyes and said hoarsely: "Could it be that he wants to follow the devil's path and use human sacrifice as a weapon?"
If it is an ordinary matter, the Ghost Saint will not see it and will not bother to take care of it. If it is really a devil in disguise, he will be killed without mercy.
"Who knows?"
"I don't think Master Zhang would do this." A refreshing young voice sounded.
The two of them followed the sound and saw Tai Jing approaching.
"Senior brother, what do you have in mind?"
"Master Zhang Yajiu is quite famous and prestigious in China, and he is considered highly virtuous."
Tu Shanjun sighed and said: "I know people, I know their faces, but I don't know their hearts."
Taijing cupped his hands and said: "Junior brother, why don't I escort him secretly to see what kind of illness that child has?"
"this……"
Tu Shanjun frowned slightly. If this was a test by Cui Jianlu, Taijing's appearance would make the other party suspicious.
"Senior brother, don't worry. With my strength, there are few monks at the same level who can do anything to me."
"That's fine."
"Please, senior brother, take care of my little junior sister."
"Of course." Tu Shanjun waved his hand slightly.
He was confident about Taijing's strength. As long as he didn't run around with his children, there should be no problem.
…
Seeing that everyone had finished talking, Shou He approached and cupped his hands and said: "Old god, I have something to do..."
Tu Shanjun looked at Shou He with some confusion: "Please tell me."
Shou He groaned and didn't know how to speak.
After thinking for a long time, he smiled innocently.
He said: "Didn't I tell you earlier that my father came to Beijing to take the exam and got married again? I don't know where my half-brother got the news, saying that the court wanted to send two children to the temple
Contemplate and learn Taoism and magical powers.”
"Your brother?"
"That's right."
Tu Shanjun flatly refused and said: "If something unexpected happens, for your sake I will take action to protect their family."
Shouhe expected that the old god would refuse.
But as far as he knew, his half-brother was a face-saving person.
It is impossible to come to him simply for such a thing.
In addition, before coming to him, Shoucheng had entered the palace, so he must have met the current emperor.
So, we always know who the so-called best friend is.
Say what's on your mind without too much hesitation.
Tu Shanjun suddenly said suspiciously: "Are you sure?"
"Not sure, most of it is just my guess. I haven't seen the child yet."
Tu Shanjun was very impressed with Shou He.
This person is worthy of being a martial artist who can reach the top of the martial arts world and obtain the top level of magic weapons.
After becoming the capture king of Wanning County, she managed the county in an orderly manner.
This meticulousness, calmness, and insight into things are enough to prove his ability.
He is a strong man.
He is also a creative talent.
"I didn't look for him, but he looked for me first."
Tu Shanjun nodded slightly.
He didn't know whether it was the Shangqing or the Ancient Immortal Tower behind the imperial court in the Forbidden Land. It was obvious that the other party's target was either him or the divine power inheritance of the Zhengfa Divine Lord.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, it is enough to show that it should not be underestimated.
Rather than rejecting it, put it under your nose for better insight.
After much deliberation, he decided to check the situation first, and warned: "Go and find out what they say and see if the child was brought in by the emperor."
"But I have stopped accepting disciples for a long time. Even if they can come to the temple to visit, they don't have any abilities or magical powers. Whether they can have good fortune or not depends on themselves."
If this was not a test by Shangqing and Guxianlou, these two children might have other ways out.
After hearing this, Shou He was shocked and a little disappointed.
Tu Shanjun thought that the other party was concerned about family ties.
"I'll ask."
Shou He sighed.
He also wanted to become stronger, but he didn't have the chance.
He wanted to ask the old god about his attitude, but he got a cold response, and even told him that he would no longer accept disciples, so his wish to learn magical powers would probably never be realized.
What else can we talk about to show our due strength?
In other words, if the world really changes as the court thinks, where should he and Zanghua go?
Zanghua has an extraordinary origin, can he still keep up with him?
Shou He dragged his lonely figure back to the small courtyard.
…
The woman stumbled all the way back to Wanning County.
Can't wait to set foot on the alley to go home.
Her family lived in Xiaxiang, which was quite narrow, with only two small and medium-sized tile-roofed houses, which could provide shelter from wind and rain.
The man came back very late. The firewood he sold was exchanged for some medicine, and he was frying it on the stove. The heat made the room hazy. There was a bed on the other side of the mist, and there was a young man lying on it.
"The Lord God appears."
The woman clasped her hands together and carefully took out the talisman from her arms.
Use the fire of the decoction to ignite it.
He called the boy by his nickname three times in a row.
call!
The talisman turned into a cluster of flying shadows.
flying room,
I heard a voice from somewhere: "The soul is back!"
Not far away.
Sparks splash.
Liu Guan, a young blacksmith, suddenly came back to his senses. He stared blankly at the hammer in his hand and the towering stove in front of him.
The stove is like a mountain.
There is an ancient tree on the top of the mountain.
A hoarse and terrifying owl call came from the horizontal branches of the ancient tree.
Ga!
The howl turns into sound waves.
"How brave?!"
"Who dares to spoil my important affairs?"
Just when he was about to make a move, the figure of young Liu Guan had already walked out of the mountain.
His steps were light and fast, running down the street like flying.
After a while, he arrived at Xixiang and walked in step by step. His father was boiling medicine for him in front of the fire, and his mother was lighting the magic charm to drive away something for him.
"mother!"
Liu Guan sat up suddenly.
…
Just as the family was weeping with joy, Taijing stood on the tiled roof above the courtyard.
Carrying the sword case on his back, his eyes seemed as if the starry sky was disillusioned and the endless river of light was rushing endlessly.
He held his arms and stood still.
There was a buzzing sound coming from the sword box behind him.
The sword in the box was already singing wildly, as if it was about to fly and kill the world.
"What a strong fighting spirit!"
Tai Jing's eyes darkened.
The senior brother speculated that Zhang Yajiu might be using human sacrificial vessels, and he even defended it.
If this is really the case, don't fight for the Six Paths of Hell, and don't blame him for taking action.
Just a moment.
A thin figure has appeared under the moonlit sky.
Moonlight reflected.
The thin face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was recognized by Taijing.
"Master Zhang?"
Tai Jing slightly raised his hand without any surprise.
"It's you?"
Zhang Yajiu suddenly frowned and sneered: "I don't want to sell you Six Paths of Hell, are you going to spoil my big business?"
"Taiyi Shengxian Sect."
"That's all."
Tai Jing's face suddenly became solemn, and his eyes filled with boundless anger.
Dragon roars came from the sword box behind him.
He said in a cold voice: "I respect you as a senior and call you master. I don't want you to be sanctimonious and use human beings as sacrifices, not to mention the Six Paths of Hell. Even if you are bad, I, a disciple of Taiyi Sect, don't bother to use the rotten things of evil spirits."
Zhang Yajiu became furious and screamed.
"I'm so angry!"
"As a junior, don't you want to see the Six Paths of Hell?"
