Longevity begins with marrying a wife

If Shen Ping was really the down-and-out scholar he once was, he would definitely have changed his mind when he heard the secret of Xuetai Sui was exposed. However, as a master who has practiced for thousands of years to overcome tribulations, his mental perseverance is so strong. Looking at the ghost in front of him, there is no trace of emotion on his face at this moment. waves.

"Xue Tai Sui? I don't know what you are talking about?"

The dancing girl ghost snorted coldly, "Stop pretending to be confused, that prodigal Chunxiang has already explained everything. I advise you to be wise and hand over the blood Tai Sui quickly, otherwise not only you, but also the entire Shanyang County will change." It’s become a ghost realm.”

Shen Ping smiled lightly and said: "Shanyang County is protected by the Changling Temple. Not to mention you, an evil ghost with a hundred years of Taoism, even a ghost general with five hundred years of Taoism would not dare to say such big words!"

Wu Ji sneered and said: "Chang Ling Taoist Temple? Bah, you hypocritical Taoist priests are more sinister than us ghosts. If Shanyang County becomes a ghost land, Chang Ling Temple and the Lingyin Temple behind it will only I'm afraid that instead of coming forward to protect me, I will be secretly happy."

Shen Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "So, apart from you, there are other ghosts with Taoism in Shanyang County who are evil?"

"No need to probe my mouth."

"To tell you the truth, I am the only one who knows the specific whereabouts of Xue Taisui now. Those idiots won't be able to find out if they are given another year."

The dancing girl said something very proud, then impatiently said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense and hand it over quickly, otherwise if I take action, you will die miserably!"

Shen Ping smiled, "It turns out there is only you."

"I alone am enough..."

The words are not finished yet.

The dancing girl ghost saw the spell emerging from Shen Ping's palm, and the word "ding" suddenly appeared on the spell.

boom.

Like the dome of the sky.

Wu Ji immediately realized that the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth had condensed into a prison, and no matter how it circulated the Yin energy in her body, she could not move at all.

"Concentration, the Fixing Curse... It's impossible. How can you, a Taoist disciple who has just started practicing for a year, master the Fixing Curse!"

It roared, its voice shrill and shrill.

But soon Mai Ji's eyes widened again, and she saw a sky thunder spell floating slowly.

"no no!"

If the Immobilization Spell can trap it, then this Heavenly Thunder Spell can definitely kill it. At this moment, Wu Ji was completely panicked, "You can't kill me. I am a subordinate of the Ghost King of the Netherworld. If you kill me, I will definitely alarm the Ghost King of the Netherworld, and the secret of Blood Tai Sui will be revealed, and then you will be in danger of extinction."

Shen Ping walked up to Wu Ji in a few steps, "If you want to survive, tell me what you know, including Gui Ji's identity and the power of Futu Mountain..."

Mai Ji hurriedly said everything.

These things are not secretive.

"Taoist Priest Lingzhen, I promise not to leak the news that you possess the Blood Tai Sui."

"No, you can't guarantee that."

He did not use the Heavenly Thunder Spell, but raised his hand to activate the Devouring Talent, and a powerful suction force immediately emerged from his palm. Under this suction force, the hundreds of years of Taoism accumulated in the Maiden Ghost gushed out crazily.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Shen Ping grinned and said, "Of course I'll eat you."

In Mai Ji's fearful eyes, the yin energy in her body quickly disappeared like a deflated ball, "Ah ah ah, you, you are not a human, you are an evil ghost!!"

Not a moment.

The dancing girl completely disappeared from head to toe.

Shen Ping stretched, sat cross-legged and started running the "Tao Lun Jue" to absorb and digest it. After a cup of tea, the lines of the Tao bones in his body increased by half a circle, which meant that the Tao practice increased by fifty years.

"It still improves quickly like this, but if it is a high-level ghost, the effects of the Immobilization Curse and the Heavenly Thunder Curse will not be as strong."

The "Taiyin Talisman Sutra" given to him by the master of Changling Temple only contains part of the mantras. If you want to practice advanced mantras, you have to go to Lingyin Temple, but that is for ordinary monks. Shen Ping himself He has a very high level of attainment in Talisman and Seal Writing. Through holding spells, divine spells and other spells, he has basically figured out the rules of spells, so even if there are no subsequent spells, he can create them himself.

When returning to the county seat.

He couldn't help but ponder. Judging from the news told by the dancing girl, the ghost princess Xi Lengyan is the first ghost general of the ghost king of the underworld. She has more than a thousand years of Taoism, and Futu Mountain is another powerful force. , there were not only ghost kings, but also demon kings and monsters. Both forces were looking for the blood Tai Sui, but in the end it was obtained by Gui Ji. After that, Shen Ping Tao Bone was created by accident.

With these two forces, sooner or later he will be traced.

At that time, we will not just face such a century-old ghost.

"You must take advantage of this period to improve your strength as soon as possible, and you must reach at least five hundred years of Taoism."

With five hundred years of Taoism, he can cast some powerful spells and Taoist magical powers. By then, relying on his own talent for strange beasts, he will be able to deal with them with ease.

Six mansions.

Song Captou and the others huddled together, not daring to exhale a breath. Even though Shen Ping and the ghost had long since disappeared, they did not dare to leave the range protected by the spell.

Until I saw Shen Ping coming back.

Mr. Song quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Taoist Priest Lingzhen, then, has the evil spirit been eliminated?"

Master Liu and his wives and concubines all looked at Shen Ping, filled with anticipation and nervousness.

"Don't worry, everyone, the evil spirit has been eliminated."

Hear this.

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Liu straightened his fat body and smiled: "Taoist Master Lingzhen is worthy of being a master of Changling Taoist Temple. He killed the evil spirits and solved a major problem for Liu's family. Come on, Butler Wang, put the incense." The money is offered.”

Butler Wang hurriedly took out the incense money that he had prepared long ago.

Shen Ping took a look and saw that he had a thousand taels of silver notes. He was indeed a wealthy family, and his spending was generous. Last time he followed Uncle Lingwu to deal with ghosts, he only got fifty incense coins from the Yamen.

Song Captou's eyes widened when he saw it, but no matter how tempted he was, he didn't dare to do anything untoward.

Taoist priest Lin appeared out of nowhere, "Have the ghosts really been eliminated? Could it be that they lied to get money for incense?"

Shen Ping said casually: "I will stay in the house for the next few days. If the evil ghost appears again, the incense money will be returned."

Mr. Liu hurriedly said: "Where is this, it's just a little incense money, it's nothing."

After saying that, he glared at Daozhang Lin fiercely.

Next five or six days.

The evil ghost did not attack the Liu Mansion again. Mr. Liu was finally relieved. Shen Ping also took advantage of this period to briefly investigate the situation in Shanyang County. Except for the dancing girl ghost, the other ghosts were very ordinary. The strongest one was An evil ghost with twenty years of practice.

Of course, in the eyes of Lingwu and Changling Guanzhu, Shen Ping cannot handle the evil ghosts who have been practicing Taoism for twenty years.

"Although there are a lot of ghosts, the strength of the City God's Yin Division can definitely solve them. Why didn't the City God take action?"

This made him doubtful.

The more prosperous the county is, the more prosperous the incense is, the stronger the City God Yinsi will be. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Shanyang City God to sit back and watch the county be so ruined by ghosts.

Reminiscent of what the dancing girl ghost said before.

Shen Ping guessed that the City God Yin Si was probably involved in the battle in the court, and even if not, he was probably involved.

"Under the general trend, no one is immune. Unfortunately, it is the common people who suffer."

Standing on the city wall.

Looking at the somewhat desolate streets, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

At this time, two junior sisters and junior brothers came over and said, "Senior brother, the fire spells, thunder spells, and formation flags have been arranged at key locations in the city according to your instructions."

"very good."

"You have done well. Go and rest. Just go to the place where the spells are arranged at night. Remember what I said before. Every time you collect a ghost, you have to go to the county office to collect the incense money. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Deal with ordinary ghosts.

Shen Ping didn't need to take action at all. Even the evil ghosts who had practiced Taoism for twenty years would have no power to resist under the spell he made.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

He and his junior brothers and sisters are still staying in Shanyang County, and they can solve a ghost every few days, which makes the originally enthusiastic county magistrate's attitude become cold, even disgusting.

"Taoist Priest Lingzhen."

"The county is in financial difficulties and the people's livelihood is in decline. As you can see, we really can't afford the incense money. As for the ghosts, I hope Taoist Master Lingzhen will put the world's common people first."

The magistrate said expressionlessly.

In the past two months, the money given to incense has exceeded a thousand taels. Although the finances are still surplus, he has long seen that something is wrong. Coupled with the news from Fucheng, he immediately understood. No more incense money for life or death.

Shen Ping had already said, "Your Excellency, it will take a lot of money to deal with the ghosts. If there is no supply of incense money, it will be difficult for a poor woman to make a living without rice."

The county magistrate took a sip of tea and said, "There is nothing I can do."

Shen Ping sighed, "In this case, the poor Taoist can only go back to Changling Temple. If ghosts appear in the Liu Mansion in the future, the county magistrate should hire someone else."

Hear this.

The county magistrate's expression turned ugly. He may not care about the life and death of the people in the county, but wealthy families and country squires are completely different. If they don't care, they will go to the capital to report, or they will not cooperate in other aspects.

"Taoist Priest Lingzhen."

"Ghosts are rampant in the county. I believe you know what is going on. Changling Temple enjoys the incense of the people all year round. Do you really ignore the people of Shanyang?"

He couldn't help but yell angrily.

Shen Ping was silent for a moment. Within two months, he had already found out the reason why the ghosts kept appearing. The source was that the City God's Yin Division opened the gate of ghosts in Shanyang County, filling the air with Yin energy and making it impossible to eliminate the ghosts.

And even if he takes action, it will be in vain without the help of Yinsi Guizhao. All he can do is keep the number of ghosts at a very small range.

"Lord County Master, Pindao is just a Taoist disciple in Changling Temple,"

"The money for incense can be reduced, but it cannot be eliminated."

Leave a message.

He left with his junior brothers and sisters.

Looking at the backs of Shen Ping and the others, the county magistrate gritted his teeth angrily, "Sooner or later these Taoist priests will bring trouble to the imperial court."

…

Yongzhou.

Great Zhao Kyoto.

In the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Rende flipped through the memorials piled on the table, shaking his head and sighing. Ever since the imperial master proposed to reduce the number of naturalized Taoist priests and real people in Taoist temples around the world, and advised that the number of Taoist monks and priests should be reduced based on the number of Taoist priests in the world, and he suggested that the competition for awarding emoluments should be based on rankings in the arena, disasters have continued to happen in all prefectures, counties, and towns. Haunting means that monsters are raging. Things like this have actually happened several times in Da Zhao.

Behind the scenes are nothing more than those opposing forces making trouble.

But knowing it, knowing it, it is very troublesome to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, these Taoists are really abominable. Just because they have some strength, they don't take your Majesty and the world seriously."

said the eunuch beside him.

Emperor Rende still put the memorial on the table, "It's not like they've been here for a day or two, but when the emperor established the Dragon Vein and raised weapons, these Taoists did put a lot of effort behind the scenes, but now the tail is too big to fall off, which really gives me a headache."

"The Imperial Master."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It didn't take long.

The national preceptor in Taoist robes stood in the hall. He was tall and tall. He didn't look like a Taoist priest, but rather a mighty general.

"National Master, I have asked you more than once, what should happen if the Taoist temples in the world rebel against each other? Have you thought of a countermeasure?"

The sound echoed in the hall.

The Imperial Master said calmly: "Although there are many Taoist temples in the world, only Tianshan, Kunlun, Emei and other powerful Taoism can influence the dynasty. As long as they don't move, the rest are not a concern. Now the states and counties seem to be in chaos, but in fact they have The dynasty is not at all harmful."

Emperor Rende frowned, "Master, the people in various states and counties are frequently attacked by monsters and ghosts, which leads to financial difficulties and people's livelihood. How can there be no harm?"

The Imperial Master shook his head, "These are just temporary appearances. I have already figured out how to deal with it. I believe that those who ignore the common people in the world for their own selfishness will surely suffer the consequences before long."

"oh?"

Emperor Rende's brows relaxed, "Then I will wait for the good news, but the ugly news is ahead. If there is no improvement this time, I will have to slow down the plan, and then the Imperial Master will be aggrieved."

The Imperial Master nodded, "I understand."

What a grievance it is, just for him to take the blame.

This was completely expected.

…

Changling concept.

Inside the blessed land of the Patriarch Hall.

The leader of Changling Temple saluted respectfully, "The twentieth generation successor of Changling Dao Lineage has met all the ancestors."

The six surviving ancestors nodded one after another.

"How's the situation outside?"

"Still the same, there is no compromise on the part of the court."

The leader of Changling Temple replied.

"So, the imperial court intends to continue the stalemate like this?"

"If we continue, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop."

"Yes, the ghost gates of the yin divisions of the city gods in various places are open. Over time, the yin and yang will inevitably conflict, and the pure and turbid will flow back, which will easily breed evildoers and monsters."

The six ancestors said one after another.

The leader of Changling Temple said: "My ancestors, it is still early and it is difficult to make a decision. In the past, it lasted up to one year, and in the end it always ended with a compromise by the court. It will definitely be the same this time. As long as we control it well, there will be no major problems. .”

"No matter what other Taoist temples do, I, the Changling Temple, will definitely patrol at all times to prevent monsters from breeding."

"Besides, over in Shanyang County, my new Lingzhen disciple has already controlled the ghosts within a handful of hands, so I believe there won't be any trouble."

Listen.

The six Patriarchs nodded slowly.

"That Lingzhen disciple was mediocre when he first entered the profession. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be very talented in spells. Now he is able to handle affairs. I think we can focus on cultivating him."

"Yes, Patriarch, this disciple knows."
