Chapter 16 Fox Death Head Hill(1/2)
When people were panicking, an old voice suddenly sounded.
"Fellow Taoist, you have a great method, I admire you! It's just that this stupid fool has been killed, why not just stop it?"
That old voice was like a needle that calmed the sea, suppressing the uneasiness in the whole room.
Everyone followed the sound and realized that the person who spoke was the mysterious old man invited by Lieutenant Qiao.
"My fellow Taoist has been holding on for a long time, only to kill the fox spirit with his sword. I admire him very much! Now that my fellow Taoist has spoken, today's matter is over! A hundred years from now, my fellow Taoist can meet me and have a drink with me!"
Taoist Xuanyun raised his head slightly and issued an invitation.
"If you are honored, you will go there happily!"
Yanzhen Lao Dao handed over his hand.
As soon as the sound fell, Taoist boy Xuanyun raised his sword and returned it to its sheath. The three-foot-long sword was silent and without any edge.
At the same time, Lieutenant Qiao Xian, who was covering his head and howling incessantly, stopped abruptly as his sword was sheathed.
He got up with a horrified look on his face and touched his head desperately with both hands as if seeking confirmation. When he found that his head was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for saving your life!"
Lieutenant Qiao Xian bowed to Taoist Yanzhen with lingering fear on his face, and subconsciously glanced at Taoist Xuanyun in the hall.
At this time, Taoist Xuanyun seemed to be waking up from a dream, gesticulating with a blank expression on his face, as if he wanted to draw out the disappeared sword from the void again.
That action made Lieutenant Qiao Xian's heart beat with fear and his soul was frightened.
He was really scared.
Everything that happened just now is in his memory.
He only felt that when the fairy sword struck from the void, his head suddenly fell off.
Panic and anxiety filled his heart in an instant.
He was as if lard had blinded his heart, and he was like a drowning man who could only struggle desperately to find his head, throwing all rationality behind him.
"Your Majesty, the county captain is in serious trouble. Ancestor Fuluan is just trying to kill your stupidity, so how can you save your life?"
Mo Chuan, who returned to the body of Yanzhen Lao Dao, said seriously.
——The conversation just now between Taoist Xuanyun and Taoist Yanzhen was exactly what he acted and directed with one soul controlling two bodies!
"Ah? This, this..."
Lieutenant Qiao County was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to react, with a look of enlightenment on his face:
"Thanks to the advice from the Taoist Priest, I now feel that my mind is sharp and I can see things as clearly as a mirror! It seems that I misunderstood Patriarch Fuluan!"
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved and I'm exhausted, I'll take my leave now."
How dare County Lieutenant Qiao let Mo Chuan leave? He quickly said, "I'll see off the Taoist priest."
With that said, he quickly ran over, supported Mo Chuan, got up and left.
When he walked into the hall, Lieutenant Qiao looked at Taoist Xuanyun who seemed to be still immersed in the mystery of Jiangji. He could not suppress a shiver all over his body and did not even dare to look directly at the Taoist.
He had no choice but to pretend to help Mo Chuan and left the lobby under the complicated eyes of everyone.
When Lieutenant Qiao Xian left, the remaining officials, large and small, also dispersed.
The people in the Jianghu community couldn't sit still, and they were even more afraid that Fuluan would settle accounts after watching the autumn, and they would rush out one by one like their buttocks were on fire, pushing and shoving.
For a time, only a few people were left in the huge hall.
"Master Fuluan Temple, I have offended you just now, please forgive me!"
The master of Tianling Temple did not leave.
He walked up to Fuluan Taoist with a complicated look on his face, bowed and apologized.
"It's okay! It's inevitable for children to lie and become suspicious!"
Fuluan Taoist stroked his beard and replied grandly: "Xuanyun, why don't you come over and pay homage to the Master of Tianling Temple!"
"Yes, master."
Taoist boy Xuanyun responded, and walked over with some unfinished thoughts, bowing and saying: "Ling Xiaozi, I have met the master of Tianling Temple!"
Ling Xiaozi is Xuan Yun's Taoist name.
As for "Xuan Yun", it is his Taoist name, which only the master can call him.
Of course, he still has a lay name.
However, this layman's reputation disappeared long ago after he set foot in Fuluan Temple.
Temple Master Tianling looked at the young-looking Taoist boy in front of him, who was so powerful just a moment ago, with complex envy on his face, and he was even more filled with emotion:
"Fu Luan has reached Lingxiao, which is like ascending to the Lingxiao Palace!"
"Hahaha……"
Fuluan Taoist couldn't help laughing: "Fellow Taoist, it's all thanks to the protection of our ancestor!"
In addition to the master of Tianling Temple, the abbot of a Buddhist temple near Qingshui County also came to Taoxi.
It’s not so much about being broad-minded;
It would be better to say that after this battle, the rise of Fuluan Temple will be inevitable!
If we don't take the opportunity to ease the conflict at this time, it will be difficult to wait until Fuluan Temple becomes bigger and then try to ease it.
that's the truth.
Early the next morning, Lieutenant Qiao Xian and his family went up the mountain to visit Fuluan Taoist Temple. He bluntly said that the Taoist temple was poor and donated ten taels of silver in public.
Later, the female family members were invited to visit the Taoist Fuluan to give blessings, and private donations were made. No one knows the exact amount.
As soon as this incident came out, officials from Qingshui County, big and small, immediately came to visit.
At one time, there were countless donors.
The mountain road that had been in disrepair for a long time in Fuluan Temple had been trampled until it was as shiny as new, and the smoke from the incense burner in the hall was endless.
Viewed from a distance, it looks like a fairyland in Yao Chi, with gentle clouds and purple air filling the air.
At the same time, Fuluan's request for immortals to surrender was also publicized with the departure of the three religions and nine schools.
In addition, in order to express himself, the narrator couldn't help but add some exaggeration, so several versions were derived.
However, no matter which version it is, there is no way to avoid the story of "Fuluan Temple invites the immortal to come down, borrows the magic sword of heaven and earth, and kills the county captain Mu Yu with his sword".
Some large-scale rumors even spread that the magistrate of Qin County was killed by the founder of Fuluan Temple.
This is to punish corrupt officials on behalf of Heaven!
Qiao County Lieutenant let him go because he was not the culprit.
In short, no matter which version it is, so many people swear that they have seen it with their own eyes, which makes people have to believe it.
This gave Fuluan Temple a halo and also planted the people's heart for great prosperity.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Besides, after Mo Chuan left, Lieutenant Qiao couldn't stop asking about Grandmaster Fuluan.
Mo Chuan made some vague remarks, and Lieutenant Qiao was thoughtful after hearing this.
There was a visit the next day.
After mentioning Captain Qiao, Mo Chuan said goodbye and left.
Frankly speaking, I have been guarding the barren mountain for a long time. There is not much time left at the moment. Now I am going down the mountain. Before returning to Daoshan, I just want to see the fireworks in the world and return to my master to apologize.
Qiao County Lieutenant failed to persuade him to stay, so he immediately sent for a delivery team to escort Mo Chuan.
"Master Dao, where are you going?"
Luo Feibai, the escort leader nicknamed Huayin Flying Tiger, cupped his hands and asked.
This is a dark-faced man about forty years old, with a vicious look and a strong back.
"Xishan City Yunji Temple!"
"Ah, Master Dao, this is not close."
"Just walk slowly and you'll get there eventually."
Mo Chuan looked sad.
This Yunji Temple is the sect of Yanzhen Lao Tao, which is about three hundred miles away from Qingshui County. At this time, it would be impossible to reach it in less than eight or nine days.
Speaking of which, people's thoughts really change three times a day.
He originally just wanted to die in Qingshui County, but after seeing Master Fuluan and his disciples, he suddenly remembered the dying words of Taoist Yan Zhen.
Feeling sad, he simply decided to send Master Yanzhen back to his master's door, as his love for borrowing his body would not be in vain.
"These five taels of silver are considered as fare, so lay people should keep them."
Mo Chuan said, paying the fare in advance.
