Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 220 River God

…

"Ren Xiang?!"

Xu Junming's heart moved.

There are two souls in his soul-catching bell, one is Ren Xiang who ran away from Renjia Town, and the other is the old Zongzi from the Wu family.

When this old guy sacrificed Lu Pan's predecessor, the bronze-armored corpse, he left a ray of divine consciousness in it.

"It took no effort to get here. I didn't expect to meet you here."

He still remembers Uncle Jiu's instructions to him to kill Ren Xiang.

If you can't touch it, forget it. If you do, of course you can't let it go.

When the mana was activated, an arrow-shaped pendulum flew out from the inside of the bell, pointing in the northeast direction.

He took a step forward, spread out his body skills, and fled in the direction pointed by the arrow.

After traveling for more than ten miles, the arrow suddenly fell off.

Xu Junming stopped and frowned.

I tried moving the arrow, but it vibrated and then stopped.

"Why did you suddenly lose your direction? Did Ren Xiang run away? That shouldn't be the case. I'm changing my appearance now. Unless you are a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core or above, you will definitely not be able to see through my disguise."

With his current innate and perfect physical cultivation, it is not too difficult to simply change the shape and size of the muscles on his face.

After a few attempts with no results, Xu Junming gave up.

However, he believed that the treasures he made with his own hands would never go wrong.

Ren Xiang must be nearby.

"Didi...tak...!"

A suona sound suddenly came from a distance.

Xu Junming was curious and jumped up to a big poplar tree next to where two people were hugging each other.

I saw a wedding procession dressed in red and colorful coming out from the corner of the mountain road ahead.

After a few glances, I wanted to go elsewhere.

"wrong!"

His brows were slightly furrowed, and a golden eye appeared between his brows.

Situations that were miles away were immediately before our eyes.

It looks very much like a wealthy family marrying a wife, and the ceremony is more luxurious.

However, if you look closely, you can see a strong trace of nervousness on the faces of the suona musicians and the bearers carrying the sedan chairs.

Marrying a wife is a happy event, and even if there are elements of forced marriage, the bearers and musicians will not be nervous.

With the help of the bronze mirror, in the sedan chair, a young woman bound by a rope, her mouth gagged, and her face full of fear came into view.

"It looks like a demon is causing trouble again."

Xu Junming took a step forward, and with the help of Hu Tianshen's magic, he came to the sedan chair in an instant. He spread his fingers and a rune appeared on his palm.

"seal up!"

An invisible wave spread from the runes in the palm of his hand.

Anyone swept by this wave seemed to have been immobilized, and their bodies and even souls instantly became motionless.

Three grains of nine-colored yellow rice popped out, capturing the souls of the bride, a bearer, and a musician.

Checked the memories of the three people.

"The river god marries a wife? I want to see which river god is so bold. But this bride is not easy to arrange."

Judging from his memory, the bride named Li Yue'e was the shepherd of Chunhongyuan in Sanhe County. She was bought by the villagers of Zhujia Village with fifty taels of silver.

The purpose is to sacrifice to the river god Zhuohe at the river god’s banquet held every three years.

As long as they enjoy this sacrifice, Zhujia Village will have good weather and abundant harvests in the next three years.

There is no doubt that this is another monster pretending to be the river god, and it is also a temple of obscenity.

In the past, Xu Junming didn't understand why so many demons could protect a land and water, but also enjoy human sacrifice? Human flesh is not much more delicious than beef or mutton, and the blood, essence, and spiritual energy of mortals is not outstanding.

Later, when he looked at Maoshan's collection of books, he understood.

Demonic catastrophes are often much more serious than human cultivation, but if there is a priesthood that can protect a party's good weather and have faith, then the power of the catastrophes will be reduced a lot.

But the priesthood is not easy to come by. It requires years of doing good deeds, spreading the name of God, and gathering faith.

Many demons obviously don't have this patience, so they eat one person a year or several years and use fear to spread their faith.

As the saying goes: Good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The effect of fear spreading belief is much faster than doing good deeds.

After gaining faith, and then protecting a local land; with a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, ordinary people will naturally be eaten to death.

From ancient times to the present, there are countless demons who have done this.

When Taoism, Taoism, and Buddhism clean up a group, a group will pop up, just like weeds in the field, no matter how hard they are killed, they will not be killed.

In the past few hundred years, the law of heaven has come to an end, the spiritual energy has become thinner and thinner, the beasts that have become monsters have become less and less, and there have been fewer such obscene temples.

This is the first one Xu Junming has encountered since he became a Taoist.

After sending the souls of the three people back into the body, Xu Junming waved his hand, and the woman in the sedan flew out, and the ropes on her body and the white cloth in her mouth were removed.

He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his appearance was only average.

This is normal. If it is beautiful, it will not be worth only fifty taels of silver.

However, Xu Junming had a headache as to how to deal with her.

From this woman's memory, it was found that she was bought by the madam of Chunhongyuan since she was a child.

Where home is, I have long forgotten. There is no image of my parents in my memory, and there are only a few vague fragments about my hometown. Finding them is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After saving her, she obviously cannot be sent back to a place like Chunhongyuan.

After thinking for a while, Xu Junming shook his head.

"It seems I can only stay with you for the time being."

Of course, he had no intention of staying with him.

With a wave of his hand, Vivian flew out from the gourd.

With a thought, the long skirt she was wearing quickly turned into a Taoist robe.

The Taoist robe is what it is.

When he left Heiming Valley, Xu Junming used brocade to make eight low-grade Taoist robes.

Except for Lu Pan, all the guardian generals, including Ren Wuji and Vivian, had one.

"Thankfully I kept her here, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to deal with some things."

To release Vivian, we must take back a Dharma Protector General who is out chasing corpses. After all, Xu Junming can only multi-purpose now.

Unless the puppet talisman is comprehended in the red realm, it is impossible to control the eight guardian generals at the same time.

After finding a guardian general who had finished delivering the body, and letting it be temporarily hidden, Xu Junming withdrew the divine thoughts placed on him.

Following the magic of the blue stage puppet talisman, Vivian slowly opened her eyes.

After nodding towards her, Xu Junming had a flash of inspiration and used the invisibility charm to hide his figure.

"untie!"

Li Yue'e, who had recovered from the seal, looked at the Taoist nun in green in front of her and felt a little overwhelmed.

One moment she was sitting in the sedan chair crying in despair, but at this moment she was outside Jiaozi.

She had no idea how she got down.

"Businessman, come to your senses."

Li Yue'e was very smart and quickly knelt down.

"Li Yue'e, the troubled girl, thank you Fairy Lady for saving your life!"

Seeing that she was about to kowtow, Vivian used a force to support her.

"Taoists should help the world and save people, so there is no need to say thank you. ...Where is your home? I will send you back home."

"Home? Wow..., I don't have a home a long time ago."

Seeing Li Yue'e crying on the ground, Vivian, actually Xu Junming, felt a little helpless in her heart.

He is really bad at comforting people, especially women.

If it hadn't been like this, I wouldn't have been called 'straight men with advanced cancer' in my previous life.

He suppressed the thought of giving her a 'purifying talisman' in his mind and waited for Li Yue'e's crying to subside.

"You don't have a home, where else can she go?"

Li Yue'e shook her head.

"Xiangu Rong is gifted. The poor girl was sold into a brothel when she was a child. A few days ago, she was bought to sacrifice to the river god. Her life experience is miserable and she has nowhere to go. Please be kind to the fairy and take the poor girl in. Li Yuee is willing to worship the fairy Under the door, always accompanied by green lanterns, quietly chanting "Huang Ting" is enough for my wish."

"You have just escaped from a catastrophe, and it is normal for you to feel miserable and have thoughts of transcending this world..."

"Master, disciple...!"

"Listen to me first." After interrupting Li Yue'e with a wave of his hand, "Since you have nowhere to go, just stay with me for now. If you don't change your mind in the next three years, I will accept you as my disciple. If you betray me midway, I’ll let you go too.”

Li Yue'e opened her mouth, but before she could speak.

"You don't have to defend yourself. The human heart is the most elusive and fickle. You are still young and your mind is not yet mature. It is normal for your thoughts to change three times a day. I don't blame you for this."

With a wave of his hand, Li Yuee was lifted up by magic power.

"Let's go, I'll take you to change into this wedding dress first."

"yes!"

After Li Yuee nodded, she followed Vivian and drifted away.

Xu Junming removed the invisibility charm and looked at the backs of the two people.

"Let's do this for now. Later, I will teach her a set of martial arts so that she can defend herself. I can save people and go to the west."

Xu Junming took out a phantom talisman from the gourd, and when the magic was activated, his figure blurred. Slowly turned into Li Yue'e's appearance.

He flew into the sedan chair and removed the seals on the bearers.

"I want to see what the river god is."

Due to the mystery of the sealing talisman, the bearers did not notice anything unusual. Still playing the suona, we carried the sedan chair and walked towards the mountain temple by the river.

No matter what kind of temple it is, it will be built to be far more prosperous than the local residences, and the River Temple here is no exception.

Close to the Zhuo River, which is the river Xu Junming crossed before, a two-entry blue brick house was built.

Outside the black gate, there was already a middle-aged man wearing a long robe, holding a floating dust in his hand, and wearing a golden crown on his head. He was not a wizard and was waiting there with a few squires.

Looking at the procession coming from a distance, several squires breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a little later than scheduled, at least nothing went wrong.

A rich-looking middle-aged man wearing a brown brocade robe took two steps forward and came to the front of the crowd.

Looking at the old man in green trotting over, he looked sulky.

"Housekeeper Hou, how did you end up wasting so much time on the road?"

"Master Qi, that little girl is very fierce, and we didn't dare to use any means, so we wasted a lot of time to get her into the sedan chair...!"

The middle-aged man kicked him hard.

"You are such an old prodigy, you can't handle such a thing well."

The old man in green smiled coquettishly, enduring the pain and not daring to talk back.
