Seeing that the evil boy and Zhu Kexie did not dare to object, Xu Zhipeng put the Soul Gathering Flag into his arms. Just when he thought everything was over, a faint golden light suddenly gathered in the sky. Xu Zhipeng's heart trembled and he understood that this was the power of merit.
The golden clouds fell on Xu Zhipeng's head, and suddenly dispersed. Eight layers of golden light of merit fell on him. Part of it was absorbed by his body and integrated into his Dantian. The other part, nearly half of the amount, remained in his body. outside the body.
The other two layers of golden light of merit were also divided into two. Most of them fell into the body of the Taoist who just chanted the "Purana Sutra", while the other half flew into the main hall and landed in the statue of Ge Xianweng in the middle of the main hall. The statue of the god suddenly became gleaming with golden light, and the Taoist charm was everlasting.
Xu Zhipeng didn't think much. He divided the golden light of merit outside him into two parts. With a wave of his hand, one part fell on the statue of Ge Xianweng in the hall. Although the golden wheel of merit did not appear, behind it, A series of golden lights have been produced. This is a sign of the god's resurrection. As long as there is enough merit or incense offerings, it will wake up in the long history and regain its divinity.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
…
Xu Zhipeng started his return journey the next day. But when he came, he was alone, and when he returned, he was followed by two tails.
Li Xiaobai and her apprentice Zhang Xinling will accompany him back to Xuanwei, euphemistically called going down the mountain to practice. But the reason was that she couldn't bear to worry. Since Zhu Kexie's apprentice opened his mouth, people suddenly discovered this fact. This junior sister of the Lingbao Sect is already an adult woman who is about to be married by Yunying, and she is also a Taoist. If she can marry into the family, apart from other things, she will gain a lot from her relationship with the Lingbao Sect. promote.
Today is different from the past. Since the ceremony yesterday, the Lingbao Sect has been able to keep pace with the other two Tianshi Taoist Sects in the same province, and even has a vague feeling of surpassing them. Just yesterday, nourished by the golden light of merit, the leader of the Lingbao Sect, Da Zhenren, and two other quasi-monks entered the ranks of Taoists, not to mention his strong rise, superb Taoism, and cultivation. The undisclosed Master Hunyun.
This is correct. Xu Zhipeng, er, Hunyun should be said, has been officially awarded a red Taoist robe by the Lingbao Sect, and is worthy of the title of Archmage.
The journey home was smooth without too many waves. The only disturbance caused was the two masters and disciples. Li Xiaobai deserves to be called Xiaobai. In fact, the Taoist name given to her by her master was not wrong. Fair skin, beautiful appearance, extraordinary charm. Originally, this was nothing. There were many beauties in the world, and there was no less than one, but she was a beautiful Taoist nun who wore Taoist robes and had a leisurely Taoist charm. That was rare in the world!
From time to time, people would approach her for excuses, asking her about good luck and fortune, and some even shamelessly wanted to ask her to read her palm. The lines on her big, greasy hands were a bit bloated, and it was hard to see them clearly. . Finally, the beautiful lady lost her temper and cast a lightening spell on him regardless, asking him to come back to her in a year.
Xuan Wei is still the same as when he left. The sticker on the door didn't come off either. Hunyun casually took it off and invited Master Li Xiaobai and his disciples into the Taoist temple.
"The Taoist temple is dilapidated, so I can only wrong Junior Sister and Xiaoling."
Hunyun found that he had reached a state where he was not disturbed by external objects. Although Taoism was ruined, he lived in poverty and enjoyed Taoism. Although he expressed his grievances on his lips, there was no disturbance in his heart. He led the two of them and pushed open the door of the guest room. The room had been cleaned up by Chang Lai, and it was barely habitable.
"You, master and disciple, will stay in this guest room for the time being. If you are not satisfied, we will clear out the master bedroom next to it tomorrow."
It was already night at this time, so he naturally didn't have the leisure to clean up the room now. He had just come back and there were still many things he needed to deal with. Fortunately, dinner had already been eaten on the way back, so this trouble was saved.
After settling the master and disciple, he walked into the main hall. He offered incense and kowtowed, and spread the golden light of his preserved merits on the statue of the Celestial Master.
There is not much golden light of merit left. Although Hunyun has been trying hard to keep it outside the body and prevent it from melting into the Dantian, it still penetrates into the body all the time, nourishing his body and soul. In just two days, he has increased from eight channels of Qi at the fourth level of Qi refining to fourteen channels now.
That's right, he has entered the fifth level of Qi Refining. Moreover, the benefits that the light of merit has brought to him have not yet been exhausted. His Dantian and the sea of consciousness are filled with this golden color. Only when it is exhausted can he know how deep the benefits it will bring to him will be.
Merit is really a good thing!
Hunyun sighed as he took out the Ruling Order that sealed the ghosts. Pressing it under the Yue Zhang Seal, a burst of silver light flashed across the seal and the talisman, and the ghost in the talisman was sealed into the Yue Zhang Seal.
The Yue Zhang Seal trembled for a while, and Yang Xing appeared in front of Hunyun with the ghost that had been transformed into a ghost soldier. He took it and saluted to Hunyun and stood aside. "Master Yin, you are back. I have been touring Zhuge Fairy Mountain these two days and subdued a mountain demon. I saw that it had no resentment, so I brought it back. Do you want Yin to summon it?"
"Don't worry, let's take a look at your new subordinate first. Do you know what kind of monster it was transformed into?"
"It is difficult to find out the origins of wild spirits when they are transformed into ghosts, let alone these ghosts. They are ghosts that gather evil energy and refine resentment. If they are not their owners, who can find out their origins?" Yang Xing Zheng said. replied.
"Haha, what you said makes sense. Just discipline him well from now on." Hunyun laughed and felt that he was also stunned. He was actually interested in an inconspicuous ghost. He was really confused. "Call out your new recruit and let me see what it is?"
"I've met the master!" A mountain demon made of condensed Yin energy appeared in front of him. It looked like an ape, with long arms and thick legs. Standing in front of him, a ferocious aura rushed towards him.
This is a mandrill that has been dead for who knows how many years. It has a deep and ferocious yin energy. It must have been an extremely ferocious mountain spirit when it was alive. It has killed countless living beings, but after death, it is unknown what happened to it. At the enlightenment, there was not much resentment and resentment attached to the body, so now it seems that there is not much resentment and evil spirit attached to the body.
"Well, where were you hiding before? I have lived here for many days, how come I haven't seen you?" Hunyun looked at it carefully and asked doubtfully.
"The little one used to live in the south, but then that place was flooded, so I moved further south." Shan Mei glanced at the owner standing in front of it, immediately lowered his head, and answered cautiously.
"Oh, it turns out it's south of the reservoir. No wonder. Tell me, why haven't I seen you before?" Hunyun nodded. His activity trajectory is basically controlled to the north of the reservoir. He has not been to the south of the reservoir, so it is normal that he did not find this mountain charm.
You know, places where ghosts like the Mountain Demon usually leave their aura, and once he enters, he will notice it.
"Then do you still remember how many years you have lived in this mountain? What do you usually do for a living?" Hunyun continued to ask.
"I don't remember this little one anymore. I just remember that there was a temple at the foot of the mountain, and a very compassionate old monk lived in the temple." Shan Mei fell into memories. "I remember that I used to meet him in Wuxiao Mountain Forest one day. Somehow, I was influenced by him. After that, I hid in the temple to practice and stopped showing up randomly. Later, somehow, the temple disappeared , I left that place and went to the south. Later, the place was flooded, so I moved further south until I was discovered by Boss Yang a few days ago."
What this mountain charm said was very simple, but Hunyun had roughly deduced the time from his words. There was originally a Yan'an Temple at the foot of Zhugexian Mountain. It was probably destroyed in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Only then did monks go up the mountain to build the Xifei Temple. Calculating this, this mountain charm has been living in this mountainous area for at least four hundred years. In addition, it had already taken shape at that time, and time would have to move forward for at least another hundred years.
Five hundred years of vicissitudes of life are really unimaginable.
