Immortality, Starting from the Side Sect

Sanyin Temple, main hall.

Chen Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, took a sip of tea, and glanced at Changping County Lord who was also holding a tea cup: "Little brother, what is going on today?"

Changping County Lord shook his head slightly and lowered his eyes slightly. He didn't respond to Mr. Chen very much and just drank tea by himself.

Chen Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, but he probably had an idea. It's hard to say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing in today's situation, but it probably wasn't a disaster. Otherwise, the county magistrate wouldn't have been drinking tea silently and would have run away long ago.

On the side, a young purple-robed Taoist glanced at the scenery in the temple with his hands behind his back, especially standing in front of the statue of the Five Evil Gods for a while, as if he was looking at something. Chen Ci glanced at it and was not sure about this person. What's the purpose.

Although these five evil gods are wild gods, they do not violate taboos.

The 'god statues' in the world of spiritual practice are all kinds of strange, and they are not some lofty things. Ordinary people worship the gods of land, mountains, and rivers. They may be some wild spirits or wild gods, or they are a way for individual sorcerers to make money. However, the dojos of practitioners worship them. The statues of gods have different meanings and functions.

For example, in Miao territory, some Miao villages enshrine their own ancestral spirits, and some Miao villages enshrine their own ancestral spirits. In Heshan, some worship the founder of the mountain, Fengjiu Patriarch, and some statues are simply the ghosts raised by their own families. There is no such thing as a kid or anything, there are no conventional habits.

Putting aside the special circumstances of ancestor spirits and ancestors, in fact, for monks, most statues are pragmatic, closer to the flow of magical powers, such as insects, spirits, evil spirits, full food and drink, they are all You have to work for the monk.

As for the Five Evil Gods in Sanyin Temple, the predecessor was probably planning to use it for something, but it was stranded. Chen Ci was too lazy to take over and just left it in the main hall without caring about it.

"Heshan teaches Guanzhu Chen, right?"

The young Taoist probably finished reading, turned around, smiled and raised his hand in salute.

"Don't dare."

Chen Ci stood up and returned the greeting very politely.

You're welcome, this person is not that young in appearance. Although Qi Refining monks can also have a long-lasting appearance, they are not ageless. Although there are some methods to slow it down, there are still some differences in general, but there may be a gap with the actual age. .

But this Taoist really looks like a teenager. His lifespan is estimated to be around ten, but his Qi cultivation is a few points higher than that of Chen Ci. At first glance, he looks like a second-generation immortal who cannot be offended.

"This fellow Taoist came to this temple, but I don't know what's important."

Chen Ci laughed, got straight to the point, and simply asked the person's purpose.

"There is indeed one important thing."

The Taoist stood with his hands behind his back and did not announce his family name. He only said: "Longhushan Order, Taoist temples and temples in all counties in Xishan Prefecture are no longer allowed to erect statues of wild gods. What the hell is this thing in your temple? It’s a waste of time.”

After saying this, the man flipped his palm and took out a jade statue of a Taoist the size of a human head from his sleeve, and said lightly: "According to this jade statue, set up a statue of a god ten feet high in your sight, and place it in the chest of the statue. The people of the county can offer incense and worship sincerely."

Um?

Chen Ci frowned slightly, did not answer, and asked, "What does this mean?"

He really didn't expect that the so-called Jiuquan Temple decree was like this. Although Jiuquan Temple was powerful, it could not directly control the disciples of Heshan. It was not a department and had nothing to do with it.

However, this person seems to be talking about the Dragon Tiger Mountain Order, so there seems to be something wrong with this.

Moreover, he inexplicably stuffed a statue of a god into his Sanyin Temple. This behavior is not right no matter how you look at it. Mr. Chen is now panicking when he sees these things. He just begs those big guys not to touch him, a small cultivator in Heshan. , it’s fine if he doesn’t understand anything, but he really can’t stand the constant flash of information on the golden finger panel.

Being on guard but not being able to guard against it adds to the trouble.

"What do you mean?"

The young Taoist also asked out of curiosity: "I also have the Dragon and Tiger Laws, the official documents of the government, and the decrees of your Red Dragon Temple. Which one do you want to see?"

Chen Ci: "." Who asked you this?

"Is there something wrong with this move?"

Chen Ci pondered for a moment and then said, "Fellow Taoist, you can ask the Changping County Government to open another temple in the county. This Sanyin Temple is located in a remote place and does not have much incense."

"Ha~"

The Taoist chuckled lightly and waved his hand: "There is nothing wrong. Chilongguan has been notified of this matter. Just do as you are told. There is not much room for discussion. The main reason is that I made an agreement with your master to teach you that Xishan, the land of Quanzhou, We can’t send Longhu disciples to stay in the government. If we open another Taoist temple, it’s not impossible. Then all the land and money allocated to you in Changping County will be transferred to the new disciples. You should think about it carefully.”

Chen Ci's expression moved slightly, and she rubbed her fingers lightly, as if she was thinking about something. She didn't respond, but she didn't refuse either.

This is very annoying.

He had already hurriedly ran back from Liangjianghai City to Changping County, a place that couldn't be more remote. Why couldn't he avoid some things? Chen Ci vaguely felt that some kind of change seemed to be happening in the Liang Kingdom's spiritual practice world. First of all, The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and now the Dragon Tiger Mountain seem to be trying something, and their low-level cultivators really have no place to run.

When the young Taoist saw that Chen Ci didn't answer, he simply put the jade statue on the table and smiled: "After running around Chen Guanzhu's Sanyin Temple, it's time for me to go back. By the way, if this jade statue is worshiped with incense and sincerity, There will be spiritual light. Although mortals cannot feel it, monks like us can still detect it easily. If this jade statue cannot inspire spiritual light, or the spiritual light is too thin, Guanzhu Chen, I don’t need to say more. In the future, there will be inspection Taoist priests to ask. As for your expenses, you can just withdraw them from the accounts of Changping County."

The young Taoist came and left quickly. After explaining the matter, he left calmly, regardless of whether Chen Ci answered or not.

Only one jade statue remains.

And a Changping County official who was still immersed in drinking tea.

"Stop drinking. It's just a cup of tea. It should have been finished long ago."

Chen Ci glanced at the jade statue on the table and looked a little ugly: "Do you know what this is like?"

"Master Chen, I really don't know."

Changping County Master smiled sarcastically, put down his tea cup, took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, and explained in a low voice: "The real person is going to travel to immortals at the end of the year, and I don't have a chance to visit him. The official is here to give some money to the real person. In addition to official documents from the government, this person also has official documents, but I don’t know his specific identity. Regardless of his identity as the master of the Xian family, the entire Xishan government must be under his instructions."

"I don't know?"

Chen Ci glanced at the banknote, which was about ten thousand taels, and ignored it. He frowned slightly, and was about to ask again when he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something underneath the jade statue.

He carefully used his zhenqi to capture it, but it was a folded jade-colored letter, which was probably left by the Taoist when he left.

Chen Ci opened the letter and scanned it carefully several times. His expression was neither good nor bad.

The mysterious way of the cave crosses the star king of evil.

This is the divine name of this jade statue.

Next is a method of making spiritual incense. The techniques involved are not sophisticated or expensive, but they can only be made by monks. When pilgrims offer incense, they light the incense, which helps the jade statue to stimulate spiritual light.

Finally, there is a method of sacrificing Dharma money. Five ordinary Liang copper coins are placed on the palm of the statue, and they are worshiped with incense. After waiting for a long time, they can be sold to the disciples of Longhu Mountain depending on the intensity of the fire. The price is high. It is regarded as a reward for the monks in the counties of Xishan Prefecture.

"Trouble, what are those so-called superiors studying?"

Chen Ci sighed softly. It was not his fault for his shallow knowledge. He worked hard to cultivate Qi and practiced some evil methods in Heshan. Although the side sect also had methods such as worshiping statues, raising imps, and poisoning god gods, the methods were obviously different from those. The world's wishful treasure, today's Dongxuan Xingjun is different.

Even after I came to Liang Kingdom, I had seen the so-called spirit dyeing method of the so-called Ling Sect boss, but it seemed to be different. At least with Longhushan's style, it would not harm mortals to do something.

But in short, it is indeed a problem.

"Huh?"

Sighing twice, Chen Ci inexplicably felt that this jade statue looked familiar. He immediately raised a cautious thought and thought what happened to him. He calmly stepped back a few steps and checked the body and faceplate to confirm. After everything was fine, he looked at the jade statue a few more times with a hesitant expression.

look familiar?

Chen Ci frowned slightly, thinking in his mind where he had seen this thing and this person.

Suddenly, Chen Ci was shaken and looked a little strange.

He remembered where he had seen this thing.

That day, in Liangjianghai City, there was a statue of the Yuanshen Star!

This jade statue is at least 80% similar to the appearance of the True Monarch of Yuanshen.
