Chapter Three Hundred and Eighteen The Past of the Shi Family
"Senior brother, where are the Evil God Ancestral Temple? Why has the Master been searching for so long and there is no trace?" the Taoist asked again.
"How could I know that there are five counties in Wohu Mansion, with a vast territory. Even if only the righteous gods with imperial decrees are counted, there are twenty or thirty. Among them, there are countless people who have bowed to the evil gods. Although there are green seals in the imperial decrees, they are just covered by the evil gods with secret techniques, and even if there is something strange, they cannot be checked." The head Taoist shook his head and answered.
The Taoist court’s imperial seal is not only a proof of whether the gods are good or evil, but also a means for the Taoist court to monitor and control the gods. It contains the secret magic of the Taoist sect. The Taoist court can perceive any major abnormal movements of the gods under daily rule.
But this time, I quietly waited for the Taoist court to react and found that it was already a little too big.
After a pause, he arrived again: "In addition, those grass-headed gods have more than a hundred gods. It is really hard to guess where the evil gods themselves hide."
"Damn it, these gods usually enjoy the protection of the Taoist temple, but when the matter is about to come, they ignore our Taoist temple. This time, we must ask the master to organize the Yingzhou Shendao." Another disciple said.
When Chang Jin heard this, he felt a little contempt. These Taoists did not blush when they spoke, and they simply accused the gods of Yingzhou for their faults. They never thought that they would lose justice first for their own selfish interests.
A few years ago, the World-Honored Ones caused trouble, and many gods suffered greatly and asked the Taoist court for help. As a result, the Xuanmen ignored them, so how could they not be disinterested in their hearts and virtues?
Now that these gods have turned to evil gods in other worlds, they are not only blinded, but they are more likely to be dissatisfied with Xuanmen.
"If we talk about these things later, it is important to find the Evil God Ancestral Temple now. Otherwise, after a few days, when he accumulates enough incense and mental power to improve his realm, we will have to spend a lot of effort to eradicate it. The evil god in Wanshan Prefecture of Junzhou is an example. Yuqing Dao did not investigate for a while, and actually allowed him to occupy the position of the City God."
I never thought that even the Yingzhou Dao Sect knew its "glorious deeds". It was not surprising to think about it carefully. If there is a great chaos today, all the Dao Sects are competing for the dragon, so they are naturally extremely concerned about the movements of the states. Chang Jin made such a big noise in Wanshan Prefecture, how could he hide it from them?
If it were him, the Taoist sects of each state might have sent their disciples to Junzhou to help Yuqing Road eliminate the evil gods. But now that the battle for dragons has begun, they hope that Chang Jin will make the Wanshan Mansion even more chaotic, so that they can benefit from it.
Therefore, after hearing the disciples of the disciples reported on the chaos of the Shinto in Wanshan Mansion, the rest of the Taoist sect chose to wait and see, and the same was true for Shangxuan Sect. However, when similar examples appeared on them, they immediately showed a completely different attitude and planned to suppress them with the power of thunder.
"If we continue to look like this, we may not be able to determine the location of the Evil God's Ancestral Temple in less than a month or two." A fat Taoist sighed.
"It's not that troublesome. Although the evil god used secret methods to cover up the fortune of the ancestral temple, he would definitely find some clues when he was looking at it in detail. For example, this land temple has a brilliant fortune. If you look closely, you will find that the flow of the qi above is a bit dull... I have just gone to the town to inquire, and the believers here are not fanatical..." The leading Taoist analyzed.
"So that's it." The remaining disciples exclaimed.
After hearing the tone of several disciples of Shangxuan Sect, they seemed to have no idea that the evil god came from a foreign land, but just thought it was an ordinary evil god.
If they knew the other person's origin, they would not be so relaxed.
Chang Jin guessed in his heart and felt a little strange, how could Gao Zuogui, that is, Han Dewang, collude with the evil gods, and where did the so-called great wise and good teachers emerge?
Shangxuanmen obviously regarded Gao Zuogui as a pseudo-dragon who was the pioneer of the king, and Chang Jin saw and heard about the land of Yingzhou. This person acted absurdly and rampantly, and did not look like a real dragon.
When secular fight for dragons, one must be careful if one lives or dies.
Why would such a wise and good teacher choose him to support him? Are you really not afraid of failure in fighting for the dragon and causing humanitarian backlash? Thinking of this, Chang Jin felt a little strange again.
Chang Jin knew little about the two paths of immortals and gods in Yingzhou except for the next generation. He could not find the answer, so he could only temporarily suppress the questions.
Although he was not ashamed of the Xuanmen behavior, he did not intend to let go of the sudden appearance of the evil gods in the foreign land. After all, if the other party takes advantage of the chaos and lays the foundation in the secular world, it will be a disaster for the people of Yingzhou.
When Chang Jin saw a few Taoists talking about leaving, he sighed.
"What did they say?" Bai Susu's realm was only one line higher than the leading Taoist. She was afraid that she would be noticed by releasing her spiritual sense, so she didn't even scrutinize.
"This dragon battle is getting more and more chaotic," Chang Jin replied, telling in detail what he heard.
"As you said before, a thousand years ago, the evil gods of foreign land invaded this world, which caused the Heavenly Court to collapse, the Emperor of Heaven lost his throne, and the gods in the sky turned into nothingness. Now chaos arises in various parts of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the fourteen states and Taoist sects are fighting for the dragon, intending to enjoy the new fortune and have no time to estimate other matters. This evil god in foreign land has really chosen a good opportunity..." Bai Susu said in surprise.
"Yes, I'm afraid that even if the evil gods in foreign lands are discovered, the fourteen states and Taoist sects will not be able to gather together." Chang Jin replied. The Bishahai in Nanyue Prefecture was an obvious example. General Yu Qi sent people to ask Haiyundao for assistance several times, but they were rejected.
"If the evil gods in the foreign land stand firmly here, the next step is to descend on this world on a large scale through the Magnificent Star Array. At that time, there will be chaos in the secular world. Yunsheng, should we also follow and take a look?" Bai Susu also thought of the possible consequences and his face became solemn.
"Well, if we find the place of the Evil God's Ancestral Temple, we need to take action." Chang Jin did not worry too much like his wife, nodded and comforted: "It may not be as serious as you imagined. If the evil god in foreign land wants to come to this world, he must break through the gap barrier and pass through thousands of miles of underworld. The evil god here may just be the fish that slipped through the last battle..."
The divine seal in his body has not yet parsed out the spatial laws of this world, so he does not understand the gap barrier of the Yellow Spring Blood Sea. But with a little speculation, it can be seen that if it was really so easy to break through, countless evil gods from foreign lands have already arrived in the world in the past few hundred years. As for the changes that have lasted thousands of years, there must be other reasons.
At this moment, a place behind the temple of the Venerable Ziyun Mountain was rarely visited. A monk wearing a gray robe with a bead hanging on his neck and a look of suffering slowly walked forward.
Behind him was a Taoist holding a whisk.
If this monk walks together, if someone sees it, he will definitely feel extremely strange.
You should know that since the destruction of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty, no monks have moved around the world in the past few hundred years.
One monk walked out for several miles, looked at the ruined building in front of him, and sighed slightly.
The Taoist pointed to the ruins and spoke first: "Senior Brother Puzhi, this is the ancestral courtyard of my Shi family back then, Lanruo Temple. Now nothing is left."
At the end of the day, his words were full of bleakness.
"Yes, I didn't expect that Lanruo Temple, which had been incense for hundreds of years, has become a ruin." The monk bent down and picked up a broken tiles and wiped them finely.
After a long time, he said again: "For hundreds of years, the Taoist sect has shown saints. The Shi family has no place to establish a foothold in the Dayan Dynasty, so they can only retreat to Mobei to rest. Now that the world is changing, the opportunity for my Shi family has finally come. Thirty years ago, the master chose you to change your sect and wander around the world as a Taoist. Have you ever complained?"
"The master also made great progress for my family. What is the point of sacrifice?" The Taoist pretended to be free and easy. How could he say there was no complaint? He was at the same level as his senior brother, but the master chose to let him go down the mountain, take off his monk's robes, raise his hair, turn into a scattered monk, wander around the fourteen states of the Great Yan Dynasty, and collect information from various Taoist courts.
Over the past thirty years, the senior brother has been practicing in the master's sect and has received support from various resources of the master. After they met again a few years ago, the senior brother's realm has exceeded much.
Deep in his heart, he also resented his master's partiality countless times. If he had chosen his senior brother back then, it would have been great to stay in the master's sect.
However, for the sake of the great cause of the master, even if you are unwilling to give up, you can only endure it.
"Don't worry, the master's sect has not forgotten your merits. When my family returns here, I will definitely compensate my junior brother." The monk promised.
"Complete...Pu Guang thanked the master here first." The Taoist answered, and his heart was even more painful. If he could not become a earth immortal, he would have no hope of immortality. After two hundred years, it would be a piece of loess. How could he waste the most precious thirty years of cultivation be compensated?
The monk looked along the ruins for a week and finally left helplessly. After hundreds of years, nothing was left here.
When he came out again, the monk had already put on a hat, took off the rosary, and followed his junior brother with his eyebrows down.
The two entered a courtyard of the Venerable Temple. The Taoist remembered the questions that had been pressed in his heart for a long time and couldn't help but ask again: "Senior Brother, what are the plans of the master sect? Why should he support Han Dewang, the pseudo-dragon? This person has failed one after another, and I'm afraid there is not much dragon energy to consume. And the evil god..."
When a real dragon is strong, it will become a pseudo-dragon. Although the dragon energy is strong, it also needs to draw luck from the human world to replenish itself. Otherwise, it will continue to consume, and no matter how much luck it is, it will be exhausted.
Since the reign of the army, Han Dewang was chased by Qianlong, Yingzhou, and suffered consecutive failures. Without a stable territory, the dragon energy was not sufficiently replenished. If this continues, it will not take long for the dragon energy to dissipate and be completely defeated.
"The master's decision has its own deep meaning, and we just need to abide by it." Puzhi responded and said, "As for Han Dewang, let's see what his luck will be like during this period, and then make a decision."
After saying that, Puzhi sacrificed the string of rosary beads and kept making seals in his hands. Soon, a lotus appeared in front of the two of them. The lotus bloomed in a blink of an eye, and the clouds in the heart of the flower rose, looking extremely deep.
Seeing this, Puzhi took a hair and threw it into the lotus.
In an instant, a buzzing sound came from the clouds.
I saw a stream of red green air spurting out from it. Above the red green air flow, there was a big python hovering with a ferocious expression. However, seeing that the python's body was black, it was obviously invaded by a lot of murderous intent.
Taoist has seen this lucky form before, and does not find it strange.
Next, Puzhi formed another Dharma Seal.
The body of the python changed again, soaring two feet. It opened its mouth and hissed and roared, and two front paws appeared faintly.
Before they could see again, the lotus was broken and the abnormality disappeared completely. This situation was the reason why the dragon energy felt coveted by someone and automatically resisted.
