Hearing this, Zhu Hongling was terrified.
"Master, you...don't talk nonsense. If someone hears such things, they will be beheaded."
Although Zhu Hongling said this, his eyes flashed and he quickly looked around.
Although he looked scared, his eyes showed that he was somewhat moved.
However, maybe because he thought of his own situation, he didn't think about it further.
"Haha, just kidding, let's go and tell me about the situation in Turtle City."
Along the way, stop and go.
Zhu Hongling talked a lot about the situation here.
Especially I heard that the fish in the Divine Turtle City is particularly delicious.
Xu Yang felt a little greedy after being told this.
Just in time, it's getting late.
Before he knew it, he had entered the city, so Xu Yang suggested that they go to the most delicious fish farm in the city to have a taste.
"My firewood happens to be sent to a restaurant, so the restaurant's chef will do it. The roasted fish is especially delicious!"
Zhu Hongling said with a simple smile.
"Okay, let's go." Xu Yang nodded and let him lead the way.
…………
Walking in this Turtle City.
What surprised Xu Yang was that this place was not as eerie as he imagined.
Under the rule of that magical turtle, there were many people coming and going here.
The sky is getting dark, and the roads are full of people returning home from their farm work.
Some small vendors are still working hard with their burdens on their shoulders.
The beautiful young ladies who passed by, ladies and gentlemen, were having fun passing by, covering their mouths and smiling softly, not knowing what they were talking about.
Very normal.
Of course, if you look carefully, you will still find some unusual places.
For example, every household here enshrines a statue of a divine turtle.
In the easternmost part of the city, in the Turtle River, there is a huge turtle statue floating on the water, lying there, staring at the entire city.
Here, there is actually a strange sense of depression.
But people here are obviously used to it.
In Zhu Hongling's words, the divine turtle here protects the place from being disturbed by monsters and monsters, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Although he said this, when Zhu Honglin said this, there was still a trace of sadness in the corners of his eyes.
Everything actually has two sides.
While the turtles protect this place, they also need the efforts of the residents here.
Monthly sacrifices and annual human sacrifices have become taboo topics here.
Soon, enter the restaurant.
Li Xiaoshuang and Li Daqing arranged their men to go to the next table. They sat in the box with Xu Yang, Lin Yu, and Zhu Hongling.
It's winter now.
The restaurant was very lively, with two-thirds of the tables occupied by guests.
Xu Yang brought Lin Yu in, which attracted some people's attention.
“Are there any gangsters here??”
Xu Yang asked Zhu Honglin.
"Master, there are no gangsters here, but there are Turtle God cultists. When you see those people, you must bend down and salute, otherwise it will be disrespectful to ghosts and gods. Other than that, it's best..."
He said sheepishly: "It's best not to let the master's wife go out next time. Those Turtle God Cult members sometimes make trouble."
Xu Yang's face suddenly turned cold.
"How dare you, the Turtle God Cult, bully women from good families?"
"Hey, I can't help it, this is the way the world is."
"Let's order." Xu Yang shook his head and said.
Although the rules here make Xu Yang a little uncomfortable, I have to say that the food here is absolutely outstanding! !
Especially the fish here is called big-headed fish. This head is bigger than a human head.
It is stewed in a large iron pot, just like a big pot of hot pot stewing fish. It is so fresh and delicious. If you eat it in one bite, the juices will gush out from the fish.
Not to mention Xu Yang, even Li Xiaoshuang and Li Daqing, two people living in the mortal world, were full of praise for the food and even said it was delicious.
In a short time, a large big-headed fish was almost eaten.
Inside the iron pot, the heat is still boiling.
Xu Yang ordered fat lamb, old tofu, and some vegetables, and poured them into the soup.
Soon, the aroma spread again.
While they were eating, the water spirit rat Xiaoqiang and the little white fox also ate the specially ordered barbecue under the table. The two little guys' mouths were full of oil.
After having enough wine and rice, Xu Yang filled a bowl of hot soup with some chopped green onion and coriander sprinkled in it, and drank it slowly.
After almost eating, he looked towards Zhu Hongling: "Zhu Hongling, do you know where to live outside the city here? It's best to be safe. There are usually no people going there, so you don't dare to provoke them."
Xu Yang considered that if he wanted to set up a space formation, he definitely couldn't just find a place to place it.
There are too many monsters and ghosts here, they are easy to be discovered, and the formation is easy to be destroyed.
Therefore, the place you are looking for must be safe and have few people.
Zhu Hongling had already eaten. After recalling it, his eyes lit up: "Master, if you are looking for a place like this, I have a place called Deyun Temple. It is a Taoist temple. The Taoist priest is called Xiangyun Zhenren."
Xu Yang smiled: "A mortal named Xiangyun Zhenren??"
"Master, you don't know something. This Master Xiangyun has real abilities. According to what he said, he is an immortal from the world of cultivating immortals, and his strength reaches the level of becoming a god."
Zhu Hongling said seriously.
"Above the gods??"
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment and his expression turned strange.
You know, there are not many people who can understand the realm of becoming a god.
Many monks only know about Nascent Soul, but don’t know much about the higher level.
This mortal actually understands so clearly.
Xu Yang became somewhat interested in this real person Xiangyun.
He guessed that this person might have come from the world of immortality, and asked casually: "If he is so powerful, why is he in this remote place?"
"I once sent him firewood. He said that he didn't want to care about the secular affairs of the world of immortality, so he spent his remaining years here."
"interesting."
"Deyun Temple is inaccessible. There are only Master Xiangyun and his young apprentice. They are very safe. Master Xiangyun has boundless magic power, and the surrounding monsters and monsters dare not go there! Instead, sometimes he will do rituals for some villagers at the foot of the mountain to benefit the people. .”
"What rituals will he do?" Xu Yang asked, putting down the bowl of soup he had finished drinking.
"For example, if someone dies, he will go there and help the deceased to report to the underworld! If someone is sick and possessed by evil spirits, he will draw talismans to treat them. Not only is he very powerful, but his disciples are also masters at catching ghosts."
After hearing Zhu Hongling's explanation, Xu Yang secretly guessed.
This Master Xiangyun might really be capable.
But not much.
The so-called talisman treatment and rituals are all deceptions.
However, that place does meet my requirements.
So Xu Yang decided to go to that place to have a look.
But it's getting late now, so I'll rest here first.
The restaurant owner opened a room for them, and Xu Yang and Lin Yu entered the room.
Through the window, you can see the scenery outside.
"My lord, this is a peace mantra to protect you. If you recite it several times a day, you can ensure that all diseases will not invade you and all evil spirits will be gone."
The innkeeper handed over a pamphlet.
Xu Yang opened it and took a look.
There are some words in praise of the turtles.
"Ah…………"
Xu Yang smiled: "If the Peace Spell is really effective, then why do so many people die of illness and encounter ghosts and are killed by those spirits along the way?"
The innkeeper's face changed, and he said quickly: "Guest, please lower your voice, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, there are spies from the Turtle God Sect everywhere here, if they hear it, don't talk about you, I'm afraid this small place My house will also be confiscated..."
"Yeah, but what I said is true, what do you think?"
Xu Yang looked at the innkeeper and said.
"Hey, in short, we live here, and the rules of the Turtle God Sect are rules. There were people who didn't understand the rules before, but almost all of them got into trouble. Some of them were also powerful people, and there were even martial arts masters, but They all died miserably in the end..."
Xu Yang looked at the book in his hand and frowned: "You people living here all have to read this?"
"Yes."
"Read it to me." Xu Yang handed over the booklet.
The innkeeper obviously knew the contents of the booklet by heart.
I read it without even looking at it.
As he read, Xu Yang discovered that there was an inexplicable aura coming from the innkeeper.
"Huh……"
Xu Yang whispered in his heart: "What is this..."
He had never seen this power before, but the divine order in the storage bag did have some reaction.
Xu Yang understood through the information of the divine order.
'This is actually the power of faith. '
Xu Yang understood.
Same as his guess.
This magical turtle collects the power of faith and practices.
With its size, even if it was a false god before, its current strength is probably on the scale of a true god.
In other words, the Taihe River is now occupied by the Divine Turtle. If you want to be the god of Lin Yu, you must drive away the Divine Turtle.
"Although this divine turtle knows how to practice the power of faith, it has not been properly sealed, so it is doing all kinds of things here."
"On the surface, he ensures good weather here, but secretly, he indulges the people under his command and takes the opportunity to make money. Such a river god has an unfair name."
Xu Yang exchanged a few polite words with the shopkeeper.
Then he took the booklet and returned to the house.
Throwing the booklet away, he suddenly thought of something, picked up the booklet, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, you can read this paragraph in the future."
"I read??"
Lin Yu was puzzled: "This divine turtle is harming the people, how can I still read these and contribute my faith to him?"
Xu Yang shook his head and said with a smile: "What I mean is to wait until you finish the edict before reading it."
Lin Yu's eyes lit up and she understood: "I understand my husband. After giving orders to God, I am the true God. He cannot accept my faith."
"My enemy, let him know how powerful you are."
Xu Yang nodded.
"So, let's not deal with it now??"
Lin Yu was puzzled.
"This magical turtle can't move yet." Xu Yang shook his head and looked at Lin Yu with puzzled eyes. Xu Yang explained: "This magical turtle is so big, it must be the same as the pig demon we met before. Same, there’s someone behind you!”
"That Centipede Master?"
"Yes, if you move him now, how can you dig out the bigger monster behind the scenes?? In addition, even if this turtle moves, it won't be able to give you the power immediately. Then this place will fall into chaos!! I'm going to wait for us to settle down first. Come down, and when you can absorb the power of faith, it will be time to deal with it step by step."
"Everything depends on your husband."
…………
…………
Early the next morning.
Xu Yang and Lin Yu had just gone downstairs when they saw Zhu Hongling, the young man who delivered firewood yesterday, waiting at the door.
Seeing Xu Yang and Lin Yu, they hurriedly greeted them and said respectfully: "Master!"
Xu Yang nodded. Yesterday, he asked Zhu Hongling to help and lead them to Deyun Temple.
After having breakfast, Xu Yang, Lin Yu, Li Xiaoshuang, Li Daqing and others followed Zhu Hongling out of the city and headed to Deyun Temple on the southeast mountain.
Deep in the mountains.
Walking on the rugged mountain road, around noon, Xu Yang saw the Taoist temple on the mountain.
Deyunguan.
Arriving at the door, Xu Yang took a look.
No spiritual energy fluctuations can be detected.
This made him even more convinced that the so-called real person transforming the gods here must be fake.
Xu Yang smiled, "Yes, how can there be immortal cultivators in this place where there is no spiritual energy?"
At this time, the door opened.
A boy who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old came out holding a broom.
"Taoist Master Mao."
Zhu Hongling walked up to say hello with a smile.
"Oh, a woodcutter." The young man nodded.
He is the disciple of Master Xiangyun, Mao Xiaoyi.
It is said that Master Xiangyun picked it up outside.
"We haven't asked for firewood in our Taoist temple recently, why are you here??"
Mao Xiaoyi stared at Zhu Hongling, then looked at Xu Yang, Li Xiaoshuang and others, feeling a little curious.
"Taoist Master, this is Young Master Xu Yang, and this is his wife, Miss Lin..."
Zhu Hongling introduced him and continued: "They came here to visit Master Xiangyun."
"Oh, look for my master."
Mao Xiaoyi was not surprised.
There are often people looking for Master at the foot of the mountain.
There are not many rich people who dress as luxuriously as Xu Yang and Lin Yu.
Because those rich people don't really believe that Master is capable, and they always say that Master is a big liar behind his back.
He was very angry. The master was obviously a saint, but he actually called him a liar! !
If the master hadn't said that he was injured in the world of immortality in his early years, coupled with his old age, those people would die without a burial place in minutes.
Xu Yang nodded slightly towards Mao Xiaoyi, a little surprised.
Because he noticed that Mao Xiaoyi had strong bones and strong aura, and his whole body was like an unsheathed sword.
Martial arts master! !
No, that's not right, it's not the same.
Xu Yang couldn't describe what he felt.
Because this Mao Xiaoyi doesn't seem to know Kung Fu, and he was clumsy when sweeping the floor just now.
"interesting."
Xu Yang whispered in his heart.
"Little Master, please introduce me to Master Xiangyun. This is some incense money I donated."
Xu Yang was very generous and directly handed over a piece of gold.
Worth a thousand gold.
"The donor is an immortal, why did he suddenly come to my remote Taoist temple?"
A short, somewhat fat, middle-aged man wearing loose and worn robes came out.
At first glance, this person does not have any fluctuations in power.
But what shocked Xu Yang was.
This person actually knew his identity at a glance.
"How do you know my identity??" Xu Yang said in surprise.
