Li Tianren felt as if he had been struck by lightning from the Nine Heavens. His mind was shaken, as if a door to the world had been reopened. "Thank you for your teachings, senior. It's the junior who has become a disciple. My master has always advised me to do more and think more, to experience the world of mortals. But I have always wanted to stay away from the world and only do things that I think are right and wrong."
A smile finally appeared on Bai Jun's face, "As expected of a disciple of the Shangxuan Sect, with extraordinary enlightenment. There is a saying in the world: Don't persuade others to do good unless they have suffered. You don't need to persuade these four poor women to do good.
They will continue to do evil, if you want, you can. "
"Uh..." Li Tianren frowned and thought for a moment, "Senior is saying that I am like them..."
Bai Jun smiled and stretched out his hand a little, and the four guards fell asleep in a daze.
"Three days later, Mr. Jia will return home safely and safely with four guards, accompanied by you, the Taoist priest who saved their lives.
Three months after returning home, Mr. Jia Jia died suddenly. Jia Zhenghe became the head of the family and took over the Jia family's finances of thousands of acres of fertile land and tens of thousands of catties of salt.
Afterwards, you will meet your destined emperor, and assist him in leading the people to assemble food and fodder, recruit troops and buy horses. The people of the world have been suffering for a long time, and they will move when they hear the wind. The world will gather together. With a single call, thousands of people will follow. The aspirations of millions of people will be regarded as ghosts and gods. To avoid it, the Seven Gu Sect should retreat. "
"What? This...Senior, are you kidding me? How can the fate of a country and the fate of all people be so simple?" Li Tianren said dumbfounded.
"Many times, heroes are so simple. All they lack is courage." Bai Jun said lightly: "A hundred years later, the new dynasty of the Yue Kingdom was established, and you were named the founding grand master. You were enshrined by the national master, and the people were lucky enough to save the country. All peoples, how great is the merit of subduing demons and slaying demons, and establishing the right path? Three disasters and five tribulations, what is there to be afraid of? The road to the great road is smooth all the way."
"This..." Li Tianren couldn't deny that his heart was moved. What an honor it was to be the grand master of a country and to protect the world? Or what kind of opportunity is it? Countless Taoists have died from each of the three disasters of the Taoist sect: wind, earth evil, and human calamity. Real people in the middle realm are not so easy to cultivate.
However, Li Tianren still said: "Thank you for your love, senior. It's just that although this junior is simple, he also knows how powerful the Seven Gu Sect is. It's impossible for me, a Taoist priest who has not even completed cultivation, to be able to do it."
Bai Yan looked at him and nodded in agreement: "Even if you are a real person, it is impossible.
But with me behind you, everything will be possible.
I will bring you noble people with extraordinary fates. I have thousands of disciples who can perform magic and magic. I have a hundred thousand believers who can be soldiers. I will give you food, grass, soldiers and horses, and I will give you heroes and generals. Behind you is me, behind me is Dajin. "
"Gulu~" Li Tianren swallowed involuntarily, "Senior, can you do what you said?"
Bai Jun smiled and said: "Of course it is possible, there is absolutely no lie."
"Okay! Since senior said so, I, Li Tianren, am willing to work with you to save all the people in the world and the common people." Li Tianren clapped his hands and felt a sense of heroism.
"You're wrong." Bai Jun said disapprovingly: "I'm not that great, I just want to make my own path smoother, that's all."
Li Tianren suddenly felt choked. Is this senior Liu Xian still such a humble person?
"Then, senior, when will we start our grand undertaking? Where should we start?" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a burning feeling in his heart.
This kind of passion is different from the collision of male and female hormones. It is the true nature of a man who is born to be a man, to take the people of the world as his own responsibility, to be a hero who will be remembered throughout history, and to have made great achievements in the country!
With such fiery enthusiasm, who would dare to say that the heart of the Tao is impure, and who would say that it means that the Tao is not corrected? The Tao is not just about sitting quietly in the mountains and not caring about the human world. It is the right way to be born as an immortal and carefree, and to enter the world as a human being is to be at ease.
Bai Jun looked at this little Taoist priest who had just met and was already familiar with him and could conspire with him in his great cause. He thought that this little guy is really easy to be deceived.
"Let's start by drawing a piece of skin!"
"Painted skin? Isn't that an evil method?" Li Tianren asked doubtfully.
"You don't have to worry about it." Bai Jun said with a smile: "At dawn, you can wait at the foot of the mountain and go back with Jia Zhenghe."
"But he's already dead?"
"Is he dead?"
"They are dead. Those fierce ghosts you accepted, senior..."
"Is he really dead?" Bai Jun glanced at the ruined temple with a smile.
"Is he... so bad that he's not dead?" Li Tianren was shaken.
"Jia Zhenghe will always be alive as long as he is useful."
…
That night, in Qi County, Qinnan Prefecture, in the Lu family's ancestral home in Xiahe.
Lu Fengji, the head of the Lu family who had rested, had a dream. He dreamed that his second son Lu Jingtian had a red-gold dragon coiled around his body, and his third son had a colorful unicorn beast coiled around his body.
The golden dragon flew into the sky and the unicorn stepped on the clouds, surrounding the Lu family's ancestral home with a golden light, and then flew to the west.
Lu Fengji suddenly woke up, his heart beating wildly as he thought about the dream he had just had.
When his wife asked him if he had a nightmare, Lu Fengji did not dare to say anything. Golden dragon! That is a symbol of being a pilgrim emperor. What does it mean when this happens to me? He didn't dare to think, let alone say a word!
Speaking of this, he thought of his two sons. The eldest son died young, and the second son studied hundreds of books at home, but paid little attention to the imperial examination. He was well-read and talented, even though he had no fame. Famous.
As for his third son, Lu Jingxing, he inherited his martial arts skills. He was only twenty-five or six this year and was already a second-rate master, and he was also a famous young knight in the world.
Ever since the eleventh generation head of the Lu family established the family rules, it has been civil and military affairs for more than a hundred years. Although he was ridiculed by some aristocratic nobles for being nondescript, his heritage was accumulated step by step. What's more, with Liu Zu's protection, the family prospered.
Decades ago, one of the eight aristocratic families of the Jin Dynasty, the Liu family in the capital, retired to the court for unknown reasons. After receiving the Holy Emperor's special decree to confer a thousand-year title to the second-rank aristocratic family, most of the family members returned to Taixu Mountain in Qingzhou.
You know, the first-class aristocratic families in the Jin Dynasty have a certain number.
There are only eight people at most. Now the Liu family has taken the initiative to retire, resolve conflicts with many enemies, and stay away from the disputes in the court. But it also made sixteen second-grade aristocratic families eye this position.
Although the Xiahe Lu family has been in business for hundreds of years and is only a third-grade family, people still need to think higher.
Lu Fengji couldn't sleep all night.
…
Hui Mountain, next to the tomb.
Bai Jun stopped the pen in his hand and dyed the ink into a pair of human skin that looked very similar.
"Xiao Huan, I have taught you the Nine Ghosts Dao Sutra. From now on in the world, you must abide by your true heart. It is okay to kill evil people to avenge evil, but if you kill too much, you will pass."
"Xiaohuan, I remember it. Thank you for your teaching, Master!"
"From now on, you will be Jia Zhenghe. This skin is made of my scales. It can protect against the sun and the sun. There is no need to be afraid of ordinary Taoist magic.
From this moment on, you are human again. "Bai Jin waved the leather painting in his hand towards Xiao Huan. In an instant, the moonlight appeared everywhere. After a burst of light, Jia Zhenghe appeared in front of him, indistinguishable and lifelike.
"Jia Zhenghe, thank you for your kindness!" He bowed his hands and said with a smile.
"Yes, this ghost method has some merits." Bai Jun said with a smile, "Go ahead, you have seen Jia Zhenghe's soul, don't show any flaws."
"Yes! Xiaohuan said goodbye!"
Jia Zhenghe waved goodbye to his three companions and went down the mountain with a smile.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Tianren, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw the figure. It turned out to be Jia Zhenghe!
He rubbed his eyes and used his magic eyes to observe, and saw that it was Jia Zhenghe who was in his eyes, and there was even a faint golden light above his head. If he hadn't known the details, he would have really thought that Jia Zhenghe was a kind and good person.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for saving your life!" Jia Zhenghe saw him and hurriedly bent down and saluted.
Li Tianren glanced at the four guards behind him who looked grateful, as if he really saved these people with his great power last night.
"Ahem...Young master, you don't need to be polite. Being a hero and being righteous is what people of our generation should do."
"Xiaosheng hopes that the Taoist priest can accompany me all the way, so as not to encounter any unclean things on the road again, I am afraid that I will die in the wilderness. I also ask the Taoist priest to be kind." Jia Zhenghe said with a smile on his face. It was a look of fear, as if he was really afraid of ghosts.
"Since Mr. Jia has said this, I will do my best to send Buddha to the West. I will give you a ride."
"Thank you, Taoist priest! I will definitely not treat you badly."
A group of five and a half people slowly walked down the mountain.
"Why did the weather suddenly change today?" Li Tianren walked to the bottom of the mountain and looked back at the mountain, wondering: "I don't think there is rain in the sky. How can I say that my face changed when it changed?"
Jia Zhenghe said with a smile: "This may be the start of a good show on the mountain. It's a pity that we can't see it when we go down the mountain."
…
Woohoo~
A sharp cold wind enveloped the mountains, the sky was gloomy, and heavy snow actually fell.
In just a few hours, the mountain road was covered with snow, and the mountain was blocked by heavy snow.
But the merchants in the ghost market in the mountain still had to go down the mountain. They hurriedly took the goods or completed the transaction and went back.
It's just that the sky is covered with heavy snow and it's completely white, so it's really easy to get lost.
As a last resort, they could only think of finding someone on the mountain to rest for a while, or if that didn't work, they could find a cave.
Zhu Zhicheng had this idea. He took five or six of his followers and walked for more than ten miles, feeling cold, hungry and sleepy, but still no house in sight.
Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly saw a little light ahead.
"Master, look, is there a family in front of me?" the guards asked in surprise.
"Quick, go in and get warm!" Zhu Zhicheng whispered.
The group of people hurriedly rushed into the front, only to see that there was still a large courtyard.
The guard kicked open the door and supported their young master into the house.
As soon as Fang entered the house, he felt as if he were in spring in March, and they were bathed in the warm atmosphere.
"Oh, who are you?" came a frightened female voice.
When everyone looked around, they saw vases, flowers, and antiques in the house. A dozen beautiful women in gauze sat down at wooden tables everywhere. The tables were filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as fine wines. Everyone was greedy. Get up and have a great appetite.
"Haha ~ We are lost businessmen. The roads in the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and we really can't go down the mountain. Fortunately, when we saw this house, we wanted to come in to get warm and rest for a while.
I wonder if any of you girls can give me some charity? Zhu Zhicheng held back his desire, raised his hands and asked with a smile.
"Oh, he turns out to be a passing businessman. Come in and have a rest. Our fine wine and food are just right for you to drink and warm up with your guests."
A woman in green clothes smiled and said, "Come in quickly. Let's serve wine and food to all the guests!"
"Yes, madam."
Immediately there was a fragrant breeze, and half-dressed women smiled coquettishly, serving wine and food, and leading the guests to sit down.
Eighteen wooden tables were placed on the left and right sides, with drinks and dishes prepared, and carpet seats for guests.
Everyone who was seated wolfed down wine and food to fill their stomachs.
With a bang, the door opened again, and this time only five people came in.
"Lao Zhu, you're actually here too?" A man in brocade clothes said in surprise.
Zhu Zhicheng looked grim, "Zhao Li, Wang Guang, why are you two here too?"
These two people were quite involved with him in the ghost market. His family was in the smuggling iron business. Zhao Li was a big cotton merchant in Gunzhou, and Wang Guang was a big grain merchant in the northwest. They were the ones who annoyed him the most in the ghost market. It’s these two people.
"Haha, since Brother Zhu can come, why can't we come?" Wang Guang said with a smile: "Besides, the master has not said anything."
"Haha, since everyone is here, they are all guests. Please don't offend the peace." The eldest lady chuckled and said: "Everyone, take a seat, Xian Yue will serve the dishes to the guests soon.
It's rare that our village is so lively. It's really rare to have so many distinguished guests here today. "
The five people also entered the table under the guidance of the maid, but the three guards beside them tried the wine and dishes with silver needles before they were satisfied.
The few of them had been walking on the mountain road for most of the day, and were extremely cold and hungry. Now they had wine in front of them, treasures from the mountains, and beautiful women in their company. They were chatting and laughing, and they were extremely happy.
Even the maids in the manor danced in the hall, which was extremely exposed and even more interesting.
Several people directly put their arms around the maid's waist. The skin of these women was extremely soft and smooth, and their delicate waists made them restless after eating and drinking.
Seeing that they were getting more and more crazy and even wanted to execute the girl on the spot in public, the woman in green said with a smile: "Dear guests, please don't mess around. If our master comes back, he will be very angry."
"Master? I am the master here!" Wang Guang sneered: "What kind of master are you, when will you come back?"
The woman in green clothes was stunned and said: "I'm afraid it's going to be soon."
"Since you haven't come back yet, madam, please play with me." Zhao Li stood up, went up and hugged the waist of the woman in green, and said with a lewd smile: "Madam is so beautiful, why don't you just obey me and take care of me from now on?" Why don't you stay alone in an empty house in the mountains if you enjoy the good food and drink hot food?"
Outside the house, the wind and snow were blowing, and there was a sheet of white snow. The sky and the earth became a white curtain, and the snow on the sky, earth, and mountains was all white.
On a snowy night, a figure wearing a white fur cloak walked toward a brightly lit house. A string of footprints stretched out behind him and was gradually buried by the wind and snow.
