Taoist master wants to ascend

Chapter 525: God-Watching Ceremony and Listening to Heavenly Sound

Li Yuan was reluctant to use the two hundred seventh-level incense sticks for listening to the sound, as he had to keep them for the combined troops and the tokens of the Eight Directions Temple.

Although he had been in the temple for less than a month, Li Yuan still understood the principle of being prepared.

The seventh-level incense sticks were not used, and there were not many sixth-level incense sticks left. These days, Li Yuan used low-level incense sticks for listening to the sound. Although the randomness was too great, with more incense sticks, he would eventually encounter them.

After the palm sound scroll was promoted to the seventh level, the lowest level of listening he obtained was also the seventh level.

Om~

As Li Yuan's mind moved, various incense sticks rose into the air, and the tide seemed to flow into the two wooden scrolls.

The next moment, various listening sounds came one after another, making it extremely noisy.

[In the Dragon and Tiger Temple in the dead of night, some were happy and some were worried. The Taoist Long Xinglie succeeded in his Dao and broke through the retreat. However, several of his fellow disciples who had been in retreat together had already died... (Level 8)]

[After the destruction of the main altar of the Evil God Cult, all the branches in various places were hunted down. Everyone in the Evil God Cult was in danger and fled in panic. Of the four Dharma Kings, only Long and Xiang escaped with the incense... (Level 9)]

[The sky was full of stars and the moon. Someone in the Huanglong Villa let out a long roar, which sounded like a dragon's roar, shocking a hundred miles away. All the Huanglong disciples were shocked and delighted... (Level 10)]

[The thief Mo Yinke hid in the capital of the gods. One day, he was visited by the master of the Qinglong Pavilion, Tianshezi... (Level 10)]

[In a clubhouse in the capital of the gods, the five major Taoist sects and the Xinyi Sect gathered at night. Regarding the actions of the court, everyone had different opinions. Some people thought that they should cooperate with the court to enter the Bafang Temple together, while others thought that the alien visitor should be captured and interrogated about the sacrificial rituals...

Some people also proposed to ambush and kill the King of Zhenwu here... (Level 10)]

...

All kinds of sounds were heard noisily. In the past, Li Yuan would have to digest them for a while and carefully select them.

But at this moment, he naturally classified all kinds of sounds in his mind, and in the blink of an eye, he had already selected the useful sounds one by one.

"Niwan Jiugong."

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly.

Niwan Jiugong was different from the acupoints he had opened before. It increased the spirit of the soul. After all nine palaces were opened, his thinking became more agile,

and his ten uses were also orderly.

"According to the handwritten records of Taoist Long Mo, Niwan Palace seems to be related to the cultivation of spiritual appearance..."

A thought flashed through his mind, and Li Yuan began to analyze the listening.

This listening was varied, covering the court, the martial arts world, and it was mentioned in it.

This senior brother entered the Tao and broke through the barrier. After Dou Yue, he also broke through the barrier of the master.

"When I went down the mountain, more than ten senior brothers had already closed the door, but I don't know how many of them could successfully break through the barrier."

Li Yuan sighed in his heart and continued to analyze the rest.

What caught his attention most was the small gathering of the five major Taoist sects and the Xinyi Sect.

"This is the drawback of the five major Taoist sects not being under each other. Once there is a great temptation, it is easy to fall apart..."

This kind of thing is not rare, Li Yuan is not surprised, but there are really too many things revealed in this listening:

"Who wants to ambush and kill Wan Zhuliu?"

Li Yuan thought of Taoist Long first, but he felt something was wrong. With Taoist Long's temperament, it shouldn't be possible, right?

"It's hard to reach a consensus on this matter, but we have to try to contact Daoist Master Long..."

Since the last time the armored man rushed into the temple gate, Li Yuan wanted to contact Daoist Master Long, Lao Longtou and others, but they were far away in the capital of gods, and he couldn't contact them even if he returned to Zhaixing Tower.

As for going to the capital of gods...

"Wait for Old Zhoutou. When he finds a way out, he can contact other sects through those Xuanbing, and indirectly contact Daoist Master Long."

Li Yuan had a plan in mind.

He was not familiar with other sects outside the Dragon and Tiger Temple and didn't trust them much, but to fight against the court, he naturally had to rely on the power of other sects.

But he still wanted to see Daoist Master Long for details.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan continued to listen.

The randomness of low-level incense listening was very large, but with a large number, there were naturally many useful ones. When the gray stone platform dimmed again, Li Yuan ended this listening.

In nearly a thousand listenings, only four of them might be related to the Eight Directions Temple. This probability can only be said to be extremely small.

[Yanshan Road, in Jiangzhou City, the severely injured White Elephant King, who had not yet recovered, wanted to find incense and offer a small sacrifice to the Eight Directions Temple late at night. The alien Chi Lian blocked him in the bamboo forest...

The latter, after a cup of tea, was captured by the purple-robed old man who called himself "Qin Yun". After forcing him to tell the sacrifice method, he planned to arrange the ceremony... (Eleventh Level)]

[In a group of mountains, the turtle fairy who traveled to many places and killed dozens of gods, holding a large umbrella, began to arrange the ceremony, as if preparing to enter the temple... (Eleventh Level)]

[In the imperial city, a fierce quarrel broke out, and many royal families were in the palace The quarrel made Emperor Gan furious. He left in anger and went to prepare for the ceremony to be held tomorrow. This ceremony came from the Tianwai Yunmo clan... (Eleventh level)]

[In the city of Shendu, the royal nobles fought openly and secretly for the quota to enter the temple. Emperor Gan was not tired of it and finally made a concession. He was ready to select thirteen people from the royal family, the big clans, and the army to accompany Wan Zhuliu to the temple at the next small sacrifice... (Eleventh level)]

"Wan Zhuliu!"

Li Yuan's heart sank: "Wan Zhuliu will be sent to the second small sacrifice?"

Wan Zhuliu!

Recalling the knife in front of the temple before, Li Yuan's joy in his heart because of the opening of the Niwan was gone.

This is not drawing a knife. What he needs to face is not the Zhenwu King of the same level, who is transformed by the sword energy, but Wan Zhuliu, the top grandmaster who has reached the top of the world decades ago!

Holding the Demon-Suppressing Dragon Divine Sword and wearing Zhenhai Black Tortoise Armor, how do you fight this?

"That's not good!"

Li Yuan opened his eyes and saw stars in the night sky, and the ancient temple on the mountain road was looming.

The Imperial Court, Visitors from Extraterrestrials, Star-Zhaing Tower...

The information obtained from all kinds of listening surged in Li Yuan's heart, and he still underestimated the importance the imperial court placed on the Bafang Temple.

You just tried it once, and you actually dared to let the pillar of the country enter the temple in person. Then Emperor Qian wasn't afraid of an accident?

"If Wan Zhuliu really comes..."

Li Yuan had a headache. Unless he brought Zhou Ying in to block the door, no, even if Zhou Ying blocked the door, he might not be able to block Wan Zhuliu.

Unless it's...

"Qin Yun!"

If only there was the former No. 1 door-blocker in the world...

"Qin Yun is also planning to enter the temple, not only him, but also the turtle carrying the temple..."

Li Yuan's mind became active again. Although Wan Zhuliu was tyrannical, he might not be truly invincible.

and……

"If it really doesn't work, what if I retreat temporarily?"

Thinking of this, Li Daoye suddenly felt that the world was vast. With that token, he could come and go freely. At most, he would just hide for decades.

"If Wan Zhuliu enters the temple, then the court..."

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan just managed to suppress his distracting thoughts. He was no longer sleepy, but he was restless and not suitable for practicing, so he sat down cross-legged again and started listening to the music.

This time, he was ready to listen to the sound of heaven.

Since the number of listening to Tianyin can be accumulated, he has not been in a hurry to listen. At this moment, he has almost accumulated the number of listening to Tianyin three times.

"call!"

Li Yuan's thoughts changed, and a dazzling light burst out from the listening wooden basket.

…

…

late at night.

The capital of gods, the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, everyone has left."

A guard bowed to report.

In the study, Emperor Qian was flipping through a silk book. He didn't even look up when he heard the words, he just waved his hand:

"Go and invite King Zhenwu and Master Qintianjian to come over."

"yes."

The guard bowed and stepped back, quickly passing the news.

"His Majesty!"

Not long after, Wu Yingxing stepped over and bowed his hands.

"Master Wu."

Emperor Qian gave him a seat.

"The prince is entangled, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get away for a while."

Wu Yingxing sat down.

"It's about longevity, but I can't blame them. It's just that it's not easy to sacrifice. They are veterans of two dynasties. Why don't they know how to be considerate?"

Emperor Qian rubbed his temples, feeling quite displeased.

"My lords, how old are you after all?"

Wu Yingxing didn't follow suit and said that those veterans were either royal nobles or aristocratic families. There were many who had served two generations of kings. They were too senior and he was not willing to provoke them.

"That's all, let them be."

Emperor Qian was quite irritated: "How to divide the thirteen places, I will have to trouble Master Wu."

"this……"

Wu Yingxing suddenly couldn't sit still.

"That's it."

Emperor Qian didn't allow him to refuse. He raised his hand and threw the silk book in his hand over:

"Master Wu, take a look."

"Is this the Peeping God Festival?"

Wu Yingxing took the silk book, glanced at it, and was shocked:

"Another ceremony?"

"Master Wu, take a look first."

Emperor Qian walked out from behind the desk. Wu Yingxing's face changed color as he was flipping through the silk books, and his hands were shaking a little.

"The flesh and blood of thousands of spiritual beasts are used as sacrifices, and a large amount of incense is used as a medium to respond to people's luck and earth's veins, and to respond to the movements of the stars..."

"You can watch the evolution of the stars, you can watch the changes in the world, you can understand the subtleties of people's hearts..."

"... By offering sacrifices, can we get a glimpse of God?!"

Wu Yingxing suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty, where did this silk book come from? What are you always spying on? Bafang Temple? Or..."

"Master Wu doesn't have to worry about where this silk book comes from."

Emperor Qian put his hands behind his back, but looked out the door. Wan Zhuliu came wearing armor and holding a sword. The evil aura on his body was still unabated, as if he had just become truly angry.

"His Majesty."

Wan Zhuliu bowed his hands and saluted:

"The Peeping God Festival is almost ready, we just need to wait for the purple energy of the sun to come and it can be held."

"Um."

Emperor Qian nodded and then looked at Wu Yingxing: "Master Wu, I want to sacrifice this to spy on the person who opened the temple. In your opinion, is it possible?"

You’re all ready and you’re still asking me?

Wu Yingxing sighed, but he also understood what Emperor Qian meant. He immediately took out the coins and made a divination in front of the two of them.

"The hexagrams are peaceful and nothing out of the ordinary."

"That's good."

Emperor Qian frowned, glanced at the sky, and stepped out.

Wan Zhuliu followed closely, Wu Yingxing put away the coins, sighed, and followed.

Huhu~

Under the stargazing platform, the night breeze blows gently.

On the altar that had been set up, Huang Longzi held a big umbrella and seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He did not get up when he saw the Great Luck Lord and Minister approaching, but just looked at the East Pole in the distance.

Emperor Qian and the others didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

Soon, a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.

"It's almost time!"

Emperor Qian spoke.

On the altar, Huang Longzi also stood up. He held an umbrella in one hand and a whisk in the other:

"Open the festival!"
