Chapter 462: Come to the door
Boom.
Almost instantly.
The vitality of the whole world became restless, and the purple energy poured into Shen Ping's body from all directions, converging along the meridians and into the bones of the Tao. Meditation can only absorb a ray of purple energy, but now that the Taoist bones have transformed, coupled with the devouring talent, he can absorb more than thirty rays of purple energy in less than dozens of breathing efforts.
Hu Chi Chi.
His skin sounded like a blower being blasted by a large amount of purple air.
After half a cup of tea.
The purple energy of heaven and earth that was born when the rising sun was born disappeared.
The strange phenomena around Shen Ping also dissipated.
His true spirit was immersed in his body, and he looked at the lines on the surface of the Tao bones condensed by the vitality. They had already increased by one circle. This meant that in just half a cup of tea, he had gained one year of Taoism.
The speed of cultivation increased more than a hundred times.
The so-called Dharma Land for Wealth Couples, no matter what the world or any practice system, is inseparable from money and money, and Taoist temples are no exception. Only when the incense is strong can Taoist temples have the foundation to cultivate disciples and pass on the Taoism.
“Is it related to the dispute in the court?”
“Yes, Master.”
"Recently, the number of demons and ghosts has increased in Shanyang County and the villages near Daliang Mountain, endangering the people. As the leader of this place, I, Chang Ling Guan, have the responsibility and obligation to kill demons and eliminate demons and contribute to the common people of the world. From today on, Ling Guan will Uncle Wu led the team and divided it into three teams to go to Daliang Mountain and Shanyang County."
It's just that Shen Ping didn't dare to use the swallowing talent to practice in the Taoist temple carelessly. He didn't forget that the Taoist temple also had the ancestors. The statues of the ancestors in the ancestor hall were not only the targets of daily worship, but also the true treasures of the Taoist temple. foundation.
Shen Ping kept saying yes, but he was thinking secretly in his heart, I'm afraid it's not easy to slay demons. Changling Temple itself has the responsibility of protecting Shanyang County. Although the Taoist temple may not take the safety of the people as its own responsibility, it is so straightforward. Bai's own safety is the top priority, and there is obviously something inside.
If only the Blood Tai Sui cannot achieve this effect, most of it is caused by the Devouring Talent. If the news leaks out, I am afraid that the entire Taoist sect in the world will be shocked, and the Taoist temples in famous mountains and rivers will be crazy to fight for it.
Back to the Changling View.
In the past six months, two new disciples and five Taoist boys have been admitted to the temple, sharing a lot of chores, making Shen Ping much more relaxed.
Three days later.
The days have become boring again.
As early as the first day after entering the Changling Temple, his true spirit sensed that there was a huge Yin Qi under the Patriarch Hall, which should be the blessed place mentioned in the classics.
The evil spirit in the ancient well of the house becomes thinner.
Shen Ping frowned when he heard this.
Get up.
But Uncle Lingwu was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed for another two days and after receiving the incense money from the county government, he left with Shen Ping satisfied.
The debate over the competition among the Dao lineages in the world as advised by the Imperial Master of Zhao became increasingly fierce in the court. More than half of the Dao lines were opposed, and even the two powerful Dao lines came forward, which made the Emperor of Zhao hesitate and did not make a final decision.
Activating his teleportation talent, he returned to the house in Shanyang County.
"Lingzhen, you are good at spells and have followed Lingwu to exorcise evil spirits and destroy ghosts. This time you will lead a team and lead two new disciples to Shanyang County."
Therefore, most of the time, the Taoist temple is empty, and the temple owner is often absent.
"According to my current cultivation speed, it should only take three or four years to reach the level of a true king... Well, let's settle down in Changling Temple for a while. When I have the strength of a true king, I can then go out to travel and inquire about the news about Futu Mountain. "
The temple master first took his junior brother Ling Wu and his disciples to worship the ancestor, and then got down to business.
After simply packing up that day, they took their two junior brothers and sisters to Shanyang County. With the blessing of the divine talisman, the three of them arrived at the county seat in only half an hour.
But about this.
More than half a year ago, the disciples in the temple were busy everywhere. Why, as half a year passed, the number of demons and monsters increased.
However, other disciples, under the leadership of their uncle, went to various places in the Daliang Mountains to slay demons and eliminate demons, apparently speeding up the training of disciples in the temple.
“According to the records in the Changling Taoist Temple, only those who have practiced Taoism for five hundred years can be crowned as true kings. Those who have practiced Taoism for a thousand years can still proclaim themselves as true kings even if they are not conferred by the imperial court. Those who have practiced Taoism for more than one thousand years can go to famous mountains and rivers to establish a sect.”
Shen Ping is not interested at all. He did not come to this world to become a genius.
Before leaving.
It’s just that everyone can see that competition among Taoist temples is a matter of time. After all, there are too many Taoist branches. From more than 30 Taoist branches in Da Zhao Jianguo to more than 200 now, the number of naturalized Taoist priests has exceeded 10,000, and As long as they are naturalized Taoist priests, they can enjoy the imperial salary and various tax exemption rights, resulting in the annual revenue of the national treasury decreasing year after year.
He couldn't help but guess.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Channglingguan Patriarch Hall.
Old rules.
He pondered.
Shen Ping and the other disciples gathered together.
Then the leader of the Changling Temple began to allocate members, as well as the required spells, talisman swords and other things.
Every day, in addition to meditating and practicing Taoism, I also do various groceries. In the words of Master Lingwu, this is called sharpening the state of mind.
The leader of Changling Temple warned: "Lingzhen, when you arrive in Shanyang County, you must act cautiously and don't act too hastily. If you encounter troublesome ghosts, you must protect your junior brothers and sisters as your top priority."
Even Uncle Lingwu warned in a low voice, "In everything, your own safety is the top priority, don't show off, and you must remember the rules of my spiritual watch."
He couldn't rush to rescue Xi Lengyan at Futu Mountain. He believed that since Xi Lengyan could obtain the blood of Tai Sui and escaped all the way to Shanyang County, both her own strength and the identity behind her were definitely not simple, and she would not die so easily. Lose.
Before entering the city gate, I encountered a funeral procession. Paper money was scattered all over the road and drifted down in the wind. When I arrived at the city, I saw a desolate and run-down place. Apart from the paper money flying on the street, there were only a few hurried passers-by. .
Shanyang County was very prosperous and lively half a year ago, but it has become like this in just half a year.
Shen Ping stopped a passerby and asked a few questions, but the passerby shook his head and kept saying he didn't know. Seeing this, he had no choice but to take his junior brothers and sisters towards the county government office.
Go to the county government street.
Finally gained some popularity.
“Song Pu Tou.”
“Taoist Master Lingzhen, you are here.”
When Song Putou saw Shen Ping and the others, they rushed into the county government office as if they had grasped a life-saving straw. Then he called on the shopkeepers to bring delicious food and drinks. Without Shen Ping asking, he poured beans from the county government office. The situation spoke out.
"I don't know what happened in the past two or three months. There have been a series of deaths in the county. I originally thought it was an ordinary murder case, but later I found out that it was haunted, and it wasn't just one or two. It has become more frequent in the past few days. Even the county The Liu family here has suffered a lot, but the Liu family has a Taoist priest sitting in charge..."
Song Putou sighed, "If it were an ordinary case, those of us who are fed by the emperor would have to risk our lives to solve it, but with evil spirits, we have absolutely no choice but to ask you to watch the spirits. But according to what your temple master said, Daliang Mountain is also unsettled and there are many monsters. Now we finally wait for the Taoist Master to come."
“Taoist Priest Lingzhen, you must help our county government. The county magistrate is still at Liu’s house and cannot greet him in person.”
Shen Ping waved his hand, "It's okay, Song Putou, how about we go to Liu's house right now?"
Song Putou was overjoyed and said, "Taoist Master Lingzhen, I will lead the way."
"Senior Brother Lingzhen, can you really drive away ghosts?" The fresh-looking junior sister behind her asked anxiously. Not long after she and another disciple of the temple had just entered the temple, they had learned some skills in using ordinary spells. If they encountered ghosts, , still powerless.
Shen Ping said casually: "It depends on the situation. If it's an ordinary ghost, it's fine, but if it's a more powerful one, we'd better run faster."
"ah?"
The way the junior sister is stunned is quite cute. She is so peaceful that even the junior fellow students around her usually don’t even look at her more than once.
All the way to Liu's house.
There is a white cloth hanging on the door of the house, and as you enter the threshold, you hear bursts of crying. It seems that someone in the family has just died.
“He is the third son of Mr. Liu.”
Song Putou whispered and led Shen Ping to the hall.
“The county magistrate, Mr. Liu, Taoist priest Lingzhen of Changlingguan is here.”
When the grieving Master Liu heard that it was Chang Lingguan, he stood up and walked to Shen Ping, "Taoist Master Lingzhen, you have to avenge my third son. Kill the evil ghost. No matter how much incense money you have, I will All will be given."
It can be seen that Master Liu dotes on his third son.
The magistrate of Shanyang County also said, "Taoist Priest Lingzhen, please drive out the ghosts and subjugate them as soon as possible, so as to return a peaceful world to the people of Shanyang."
Shen Ping said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Mr. Liu, please rest assured that Lingzhen will go all out."
At this time.
A Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe walked out of the corner. He snorted: "Why did Changling Temple send three young guys here? You three Taoist disciples can also drive away ghosts?"
With that said, he faced Mr. Liu and the county magistrate, "In my opinion, it's better to go to Fucheng as soon as possible and invite a real person to come over."
Song Pu took a few steps forward and said, "Taoist Priest Lingzhen followed Taoist Priest Lingwu to drive away ghosts half a year ago."
When Mr. Liu heard this, he said: "I can trust Taoist Master Lingzhen. As for going to Fucheng, we can talk about it later."
The Taoist priest heard the dissatisfaction in Mr. Liu's words, so he said nothing, glanced at Shen Ping, turned around and left the hall.
“Steward Wang, please take Taoist Priest Lingzhen, the others, and Song Putou to the wing to rest temporarily, and then explain the specific situation in the house to Taoist Priest Lingzhen in detail.”
“Yes, sir.”
Steward Wang immediately made a gesture of invitation, "Taoist Priest Lingzhen, Song Putou, please come with me."
After arriving at the wing.
Butler Wang first asked the maid to serve tea, and then said: "The thing is like this. A few days ago, the third young master brought back a dancing girl who had not served before in Yihong Courtyard. As a result, the dancing girl died that night. The third young master asked the servant to After he was buried, something happened.”
“Taoist priest Lin who was in charge of the house personally fought with the evil spirit, but there was no winner. The evil spirit came every night for the past two days, causing unrest in the whole house.”
Finish listening.
Shen Ping asked: "So, the evil ghost was a dancing girl before she was alive?"
"yes."
"According to what Taoist Lin said, the evil ghost is indeed the dancing girl brought back by the third young master. Taoist Lingzhen must not be careless. Taoist Lin still has some abilities, and he can't do anything about the evil ghost."
Shen Ping nodded. He guessed that the Taoist King Butler must have concealed something. Otherwise, even if a newly deceased dancer turned into a ghost, she would not be so powerful. Just now in the hall, he used his true spirit to check Taoist Master Lin's cultivation. Although he has practiced Taoism for less than a hundred years, he still has fifty or sixty years of practice, so it is not a problem to deal with ordinary ghosts.
“If you have any needs, Master Lingzhen, just tell me.”
After Butler Wang finished speaking, he left the servants in the palace and left.
Shen Ping began to use mana to make spells, mainly fire spells and thunder spells. Generally, for Taoist priests with low Taoism, the spells must be carried on special paper and ink. If the Taoism exceeds three hundred years, mana can be used directly. The magic spell is condensed in an instant.
He has practiced daily by devouring his talent for the past six months, and he has only reached two hundred years of Taoism.
at dusk.
The sky has just dimmed.
There were bursts of women's cries from the Liu Mansion.
“Here he comes, the evil spirit is here!”
Master Liu and his wives and concubines were trembling with fear and hurriedly hid behind Shen Ping.
Song Putou and other people also showed fear on their faces. Only Daochang Lin sneered and crossed his chest, waiting to see the joke. He had fought with the evil ghost and knew the opponent's strength very well.
咻咻咻.
Shen Ping calmly took out the magic spell and pinched the magic formula of "Taiyin Talisman Sutra" in his hand. Suddenly, the magic patterns on the spells flickered and lit up. Then he quickly flew out and landed on the lotus pond in the backyard of the mansion out of thin air. null.
“Thunder, fire spell, give it to me!”
simultaneously.
Dozens of spells formed a six-pointed star shape, tightly suppressing the invisible air.
soon.
A shrill scream came from below the spell, and then a huge amount of Yin Qi burst out from the ghost, instantly destroying the spell.
“You stinking Taoist priest, you are colluding with the Liu family, go to hell!”
The evil ghost manifested a ferocious figure and rushed towards Shen Ping.
However, Shen Ping ignored it. He turned his eyes and stared at Mr. Liu's concubine behind him. He said calmly: "You have gained such strength in just a few days. Tell me, what kind of power is behind you?"
The concubine had a grimace on her face and said, "Tao, Taoist Master, what are you talking about?"
Poof!
The talisman sword was cut down directly.
The concubine's face suddenly changed, and suddenly she turned into a large ball of foul-smelling pus, while her body flew out.
Shen Ping threw out a few spells to calm the hall, "Song Putou, protect Master Liu and the others, don't leave this hall."
Leave a sentence.
He chased after him, and after a cup of tea, he chased him outside the county town.
“You stinking Taoist priest, you are so brave that you dare to chase me.”
The ghost turned around, with a charming and charming face. It was only wearing a translucent gauze dress. Under the night wind, its figure could be vaguely seen.
"A ghost that can condense the Yin body has been practicing for at least a hundred years. What is your purpose of dressing up as a dancing girl to harm the Liu family?"
Shen Ping asked calmly.
The ghost smiled and said: "Of course it is to attract you, the spiritual Taoist priest."
“Oh, what do you mean?”
"Taoist Priest Lingzhen seems to have a bad memory. Half a year ago, you must have met Chunxiang, the maid next to Gui Ji, and she gave you the blood of Tai Sui."
