Tang Dynasty Hejian Mansion, Shangluo Mountain.
Fang Jian fell from the golden cloud. Zheng Xuling was already waiting on the mountains. When Fang Jian saw Zheng Xuling, he couldn't help but look slightly surprised. He saw that Zheng Xuling's face was covered with scars and he had a Yangshen-level magic weapon on his body. The Taoist robe also had a few holes in it, making him look a little embarrassed.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, it has only been ten days, why have you become so embarrassed?" Fang Jian asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Hi!" Zheng Xuling waved his hand and said in an understated tone: "When I met a monk who was possessed by the Yang God Realm, I persuaded him to follow me to Nantian Mansion to surrender and be converted, but he didn't listen, so we started fighting. But then He is really powerful, I fought with him more than ten times and never got the upper hand, but he didn't take any advantage either."
Having said this, Zheng Xuling said to Fang Jian: "Fellow Taoist, please lend me a few hundred calamity jade. When I buy some demon-proof talismans and exorcism powder, I will be able to capture it in one fell swoop."
Demon-proofing Talismans and Demon-Suppressing Talismans are talismans refined by Heaven. Like Demon-Suppressing Talismans, they are magic weapons specially used to restrain all monsters and demonic energy. It is not easy to refine Demon-Repelling Talismans, Demon-Exorcizing Powder, and Demon-Suppressing Talismans. , because it is necessary to add the mana of "Ten Thunders" into it during refining.
The ten thunders on the law are below the five thunders and above the thirty-six thunders, namely: Yushu thunder, Shenxiao thunder, Dadong thunder, Xiandu thunder, Arctic thunder, Taiyi thunder, Zifu thunder, Yuchen Lei, Taixiao Lei, Taiji Lei.
The five innate thunders evolved into ten thunders, and the ten thunders evolved into thirty-six thunders. However, there are very few immortal monks in the Three Realms who can fully master the thirty-six thunders, let alone fully master the ten thunders.
Therefore, in addition to some Taoist and Buddhist powers, only the Heavenly Court can refine these magical creatures that can restrain evil spirits in batches and on a large scale.
After listening to Zheng Xuling's words, Fang Jian smiled and said: "Those who want to borrow the robbery jade don't be in a hurry. There is an important thing to do first."
"Oh?" Zheng Xuling heard Fang Jian's words and did not doubt whether he didn't want to borrow the robbery jade from him. After all, everyone came here in person, so borrowing the robbery jade was not a big deal.
"What's important?" Zheng Xuling asked.
Fang Jian looked at Zheng Xuling and said, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Zheng, I am also an immortal official."
Zheng Xuling was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said with surprise on his face: "I didn't see that, why is my fellow Taoist not wearing official uniform?"
"This is my official robe." Fang Jian pointed to the Lingxiao jade belted robe and said.
Zheng Xuling smiled when he heard this, and then said: "Fellow Taoist, this is just a joke. I have seen the supreme immortal officials in heaven, but I have never seen official robes like this."
Fang Jian smiled faintly and did not explain, but went directly towards the mountain temple on the top of Shangluo Mountain. Zheng Xuling saw this and followed Fang Jian to the outside of the mountain temple together.
The two entered the mountain temple and came to the main hall. They looked at the statue of the mountain god on the altar, then lit three sticks of incense and chanted the magic formula with their hands.
Soon the smoke clouds of the three sticks of incense rose up, and the next moment Shangluo Mountain God appeared in the blue smoke. He was seen sitting cross-legged in the sky, looking at Fang Jian and Zheng Xuling below: "You summon this person." God, what do you mean?"
Fang Jian said: "Buy demon-proofing charms and exorcism powder."
Shangluo Mountain God said calmly: "A demon-proof talisman contains fifteen calamity jade pieces, and a demon-exorcism powder contains thirty calamity jade pieces."
"That's wrong." Fang Jian said: "The demon-proof talisman I bought in Dongsheng Shenzhou is worth ten feet of calamity jade, and the exorcism powder is worth one calamity jade."
"What? This is impossible, right?"
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, before Shangluo Mountain God could speak, Zheng Xuling on the side exclaimed, "How is this possible? Isn't this cheaper than cabbage?"
Shangluo Mountain God also said: "This is impossible. The cost of refining the magic talisman and exorcism powder in Heaven is more than one calamity jade. Don't try to deceive me."
Fang Jian looked at Shangluo Mountain God and asked, "Did the tiger set the price of these demon-proof talismans and exorcism powder?"
Shangluo Mountain God shook his head and said: "The price is not set by me, but by Nanyue Mansion. All the demon-proofing talismans and exorcism powders distributed by Heavenly Court to Nanzhan Continent are first transported to Nantian Mansion, and then Nantian Mansion transports them to Nanyue Mansion. From Nanyue Mansion, The government pays all the Immortal Official Palaces in the entire Nanzhan Continent, and every time a magic warding talisman is sold, each large and small divine palace in Nanzhan Continent must hand over five tribulation jade to Nanyue Mansion. Every time a bottle is sold,
To exorcise demons, you must turn in ten calamity jade. "
When Fang Jian heard this, his expression softened a lot towards Shangluo Mountain God, and then he asked: "Does the price of these demon-proofing talismans and exorcism powders follow the decree of Emperor Nanyue?"
"..." Shangluo Mountain God couldn't help but look at Fang Jian in confusion when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "No, but there is a decree stamped with the seal of Nanyue Mansion."
Fang Jian said: "Bring it to me and see."
Shangluo Mountain God's face darkened upon hearing this, he stared at Fang Jian and said, "Fellow Taoist, are you here to buy Talisman Powder?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "First, show me the decree of the Minister of Nanyue Mansion."
Shangluo Mountain God said calmly: "As a casual cultivator, fellow Taoist has no right to check the official documents of the heaven. If you are here to buy talismans, please tell me the quantity. If you are here to cause trouble, I am afraid that this mountain god's mansion is not Taoist." A place where friends are wild."
After Shangluo Mountain God finished speaking, a divine light flashed around the hall, and the patrolling generals, the mountain guarding generals, and the mountain dividing generals immediately appeared in the hall holding magic weapons.
Zheng Xuling on the side said quickly: "Fellow Daoist Daofang, we are just here to buy Talisman Powder. I think it is better not to ask anything else. And the price of Talisman Powder is the same throughout Nanzhan Buzhou, so there is no problem."
Fang Jian turned his head and glanced at the surrounding generals patrolling the mountains, dividing the mountains, and guarding the mountains. Then he looked at the Shangluo Mountain God sitting cross-legged in mid-air. Then he took out a colorful jade scroll from his sleeve and said, "I also have one here. Taoist friends may wish to take a look at the decree."
Shangluo Mountain God frowned when he saw the colorful jade scroll in Fang Jian's hand. This jade scroll was in seven colors and the specifications were not low! So he said, "Send it up."
"Ha." Fang Jian sneered and said, "Are you asking me to present to you the decree of the great emperor, "Chengtian follows the example of being virtuous and enlightens the emperor of the land"? "
Upon hearing this, Shangluo Mountain God's face changed dramatically. He immediately dispersed the cloud light and fell into the main hall. He walked to Fang Jian with his feet on the ground and said, "What did you say? Is this the decree of Emperor Houtu?"
Fang Jian directly sent the jade scroll to Shangluo Mountain God. Shangluo Mountain God did not take it directly, but looked at Fang Jian and said, "Do you know that counterfeiting the decree of the Heavenly Emperor and deceiving the gods is a capital crime?"
Fang Jian said nothing and looked at Shangluo Mountain God calmly. Shangluo Mountain God couldn't help but believe it when he saw that there was no strange color on Fang Jian's face.
Then he bowed and said, "My Lord Shang Luoshan, I respectfully receive the decree from the Great Emperor of Houtu." Then he raised his hands and took the decree from Fang Jian.
When he opened the jade scroll, a colorful auspicious light flew out, directly reflecting the entire mountain temple into seven colors.
The Shangluo Mountain God's eyes fell directly on the extremely conspicuous seal on the jade scroll's decree. It was the seal engraved with the large immortal seal characters "Chengtian imitates the virtues of the emperor and empresses the land of the earth".
At this moment, Shangluo Mountain God no longer has any doubts in his mind, because this kind of seal cannot be forged, regardless of gods or mortals. In other words, if you do not have the authority of the "Emperor Seal" from heaven, you cannot completely carve it on any seal. All the taboos and titles of the Heavenly Emperor are due to interference from the mighty power of Heaven to prevent people with ulterior motives from forging the laws of the Heavenly Emperor and harming the human world.
Unless the forger and the great emperor Houtu are of the same moral character, would a person of that kind of moral character do such a thing?
Then Shangluo Mountain God looked at the contents of the jade scroll with a serious face. After reading it, he sweated like rain and started to tremble all over.
Fang Jian's jade scroll decree is exactly what Emperor Houtu said at the meeting that day about the pricing of demon-proof talismans and exorcism powders. Any edict issued by Emperor Wuyu is a supreme decree and will be made by Taixuan Province. According to the decree, all super-grade immortal officials must carry it with them.
Shangluo Mountain God wiped the sweat from his forehead, swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, then bowed respectfully to Fang Jian, and then handed the jade scroll back to Fang Jian.
After Fang Jian took back the decree, Shangluo Mountain God worshiped and asked: "The little god is rude, dare you ask the superior god?"
Zheng Xulin on the side looked at Fang Jian with wide eyes, "Are you really an immortal official?" And the grade is not low?
At this time, Fang Jiancai said quietly to Shangluo Mountain God: "My surname is Fang Jian, and my Taoist name is Hongqing."
"Isn't it generous?
? "Zheng Xuling asked in surprise after hearing this, and then he suddenly froze, "Wait, Hongqing? Which Hongqing?"
Fang Jian smiled at Zheng Xuling and asked, "Is there a second immortal named Hongqing in heaven?"
"Zhenjun Hongqing?!" Zheng Xuling exclaimed in shock.
Then the entire mountain temple hall instantly fell into deathly silence, and the Shangluo Mountain God and the three generals Fenshan, Xunshan, and Yushan stood frozen in place.
It wasn't until dozens of breaths later that Shangluo Mountain God reacted, and then his face instantly turned pale as paper. He immediately leaned over and worshiped: "The little god pays homage to the True Lord Hongqing. The little god sold the treasure at a high price. He deserves to be punished." If you die, please deal with it, Lord Hongqing."
The three generals Xunshan, Fenshan and Yushan also prostrated themselves at this moment, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Fang Jian stretched out his hand and bowed down to the Shangluo Mountain God and said, "Give me the edict of the Minister of Nanyue Mansion on calligraphy."
Shangluo Mountain God did not dare to delay at all, and immediately took out the decree stamped with the seal of the Minister of Nanyue Mansion, took it out and presented it to Fang Jian.
Shangluo Mountain God has read the decree of Emperor Houtu, and he also knows what went wrong. The problem lies in the price of the magic talisman and the exorcism powder. The decree of Emperor Houtu clearly states a tribulation. Ten jade talismans to ward off demons, one calamity jade and one bottle of exorcism powder.
But they bought it for nearly thirty times the price, which had seriously violated the rules of heaven, so he just said that he deserved death.
But Shangluo Mountain God felt extremely wronged in his heart, because the price was not set by them, but by Nanyue Mansion. He, a small mountain god, could not influence the pricing of talisman powder in the entire Nanzhan continent.
Thinking of this, Shangluo Mountain God was filled with sorrow and bitterness. Compared with Nanyue Mansion, what does this little mountain god mean to him? He is nothing more than a scapegoat and a scapegoat for the big shots.
