By the stream in the mountains, Chang Hanzhe was walking back and forth, restless and extremely guilty. Looking at the plants and trees around him, he felt like they were the eyes of the officers and soldiers, and he might be caught at any time.
Mai Sui looked at Chang Hanzhe expressionlessly and hugged Lei Ling without feeling any nervousness at all.
Donkey Gen was looking for grass to eat around and was not worried at all.
Ye Ming took off the two hooks that locked the flying pipa bones on the tiles, threw them on the ground, and secretly helped him eliminate the possibility of infection.
"Okay, I can't die now."
Hearing what Ye Ming said, Wa Shangfei reluctantly cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you, the master, for your help. It's a great kindness. I will never forget it, the villain."
"I'm not interested in repaying a favor. I just want to know how you were caught?"
"this......"
Flying Noodles on the roof said awkwardly,
"At that time, I heard that Marquis Yuning's family was rich and had countless treasures. The villain was obsessed with it for a while..."
Ye Ming looked at him with a smile and asked:
"Then what are your plans next?"
"What kind of plan do people in this industry have? After the injury is healed, we can find a target to start with and save enough money for the rest of our lives."
Wa Shangfei's life goal is very simple, but it is not easy to achieve.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "In other words, as long as you can live the rest of your life without worries, you can do anything?"
"Master, do you have any orders?"
Wa Shangfei heard the implication of Ye Ming's words.
"You can hang out with him and become a monk together."
Ye Ming pointed at Chang Hanzhe, who had always been nervous.
"Monkhood..."
Fei's face on the tile was bitter,
"In fact, I still like the days when my wife and children are hot on the kang. Let's forget about becoming a monk."
"Well, how about you follow him for a while and when the time comes, I'll make sure you earn enough money for the rest of your life?"
"Do you really mean what you said, Master?"
"nature."
"The villain is willing."
Chang Hanzhe had an extra subordinate inexplicably, and he was still a little confused.
It's just that he doesn't want such a gangster as his subordinate at all. If he is discovered, he will be implicated.
But now that I have saved people, even if I want to regret it, I have no chance.
In the end, I could only hold my nose and admit it.
In fact, Wa Shangfei was a little confused about what the man in front of him was worth following. After all, he had no interest in eating fast and chanting Buddha's name.
When Wa Shangfei regained some strength, Ye Ming smiled and rode on the donkey, saying that for safety reasons, he would not take the official road and go deep into the mountains.
This decision was supported by Chang Hanzhe and Wa Shangfei.
Maisui and Leiling looked at each other. They already had a tacit understanding on certain things.
This was Chang Hanzhe's first time walking on this remote mountain road and he was not used to it.
Wa Shangfei is used to walking on various trails. Even though he is still relatively weak now, he can walk more smoothly than Chang Hanzhe.
This made Chang Hanzhe feel a little worried. In any case, this person was now considered his "subordinate". It was really embarrassing that he couldn't walk past a wounded person.
Maisui rides a donkey for a while, walks for a while, and then alternates.
Soon, Chang Hanzhe discovered that not only could he not walk past the tiles, he could not even walk past a child.
Suddenly I feel so hurt about my self-esteem...
No one paid attention to Chang Hanzhe's thoughts. After walking in the mountains for a long time, he suddenly came to an obviously man-made trail.
Seeing this trail, Chang Hanzhe was a little moved, but he didn't expect that there was a road here.
Looking further into the distance, there seems to be a Taoist temple on the mountain in the distance. This trail is the way up the mountain.
Chang Hanzhe originally thought that Ye Ming was just walking on a small path for convenience, but unexpectedly, Ye Ming actually rode a donkey directly up the mountain.
"Mr. Yang, didn't we take a detour to the Wenzhou Government? How to go up the mountain?"
Chang Hanzhe asked what he was thinking, especially since he believed in Buddhism and would inevitably have some resistance to coming to the Taoist realm.
"The government is right there, and it can't escape. It doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later.
Yang has always liked to look for immortals and ask questions. Now that he has met them, he naturally wants to go up the mountain to have a look. "
Ye Ming rode on the donkey and continued upward.
Although Wa Shangfei was already Chang Hanzhe's "subordinate", he obviously still took the lead in Ye Ming's work. When he saw Ye Ming going up the mountain, he naturally followed him.
Chang Hanzhe didn't dare to walk alone in this deep mountain and forest. He hesitated and chose to follow.
Going up the mountain is a very hard task, especially since the road up the mountain is not very convenient, making it even more difficult to walk.
It was okay for Ye Ming and Mai Sui to ride donkeys, but Chang Hanzhe and Wa Shangfei were both panting heavily from exhaustion and out of breath.
With great difficulty, we finally arrived in front of the Taoist temple.
Looking up, there is a plaque reading "Zhenfu Temple" hanging on the door of the Taoist temple.
There were no disciples on duty at the door, and the entire Taoist temple was in an undefended state.
The premise is to ignore the densely packed talismans on the walls of the Taoist temple.
Each of these talisman papers is real and usable. It can protect against evil and exorcise evil spirits, subjugate demons and eliminate demons, invite gods to set up formations, etc., almost all of them are available.
Maisui and Leiling instinctively felt a little uncomfortable when they saw so many talismans.
Especially Lei Ling, who already felt as if she would be suppressed at any time.
Ye Ming paid no attention to these talismans and rode in on his donkey.
As a result, as soon as he took a few steps forward, he saw the talisman paper on the wall glowing, and several rays of light emitted, all of which fell on Lei Ling.
Lei Ling was immediately suppressed and unable to move.
Not only Lei Ling, but also the ugly clay figurine hanging on Mai Sui's body was covered by the light, and the red-browed soul inside was also unable to move.
Even ordinary people could see the light from those talismans, and Chang Hanzhe and Wa Shangfei were startled.
Wa Shangfei didn't understand why a cat would be targeted by a talisman, and thought the situation was strange.
When Chang Hanzhe saw the situation of Lei Ling and the clay figurine, he could guess some of the reasons, and suddenly became a little curious about this Taoist temple.
This is like a Taoist temple with real ability.
The change was sudden, but very reasonable. Ye Ming didn't panic at all and just watched Lei Ling's jokes happily, causing Lei Ling to roll her eyes at him frequently.
Maisui still looked cold and didn't speak.
Ye Ming has taught her many hiding techniques. As long as she doesn't use demonic energy, she will look like a human child and won't worry about being discovered.
The situation at the entrance of the Taoist temple quickly attracted the attention of the people inside.
After a while, a Taoist with a long beard and flowing robes led a group of disciples out.
This group of people all held various talismans in their hands, and looked like they were ready to take action at any time.
As soon as the long-bearded Taoist went out, he saw Ye Ming smiling leisurely at him and others. He felt no hostility and immediately waved his hand to tell the disciples not to take action yet.
A talisman appeared in the Taoist's hand, he put it on his forehead and looked at the clay figurines hanging on the waists of Lei Ling and Mai Sui.
After observing for a while, the Taoist put away the talisman and waved his hands to the disciples behind him.
"Not an enemy."
When the disciples heard this, they each collected the talismans in their hands.
The Taoist waved his sleeves again, and the glowing talismans on the wall returned to normal, and neither Lei Ling nor the clay figurine were suppressed anymore.
At this time, the tension on the scene eased a lot.
Chang Hanzhe and Wa Shangfei both breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, they both felt that they might be wiped out at any time.
Obviously, the talismans in the hands of these Taoist priests are by no means simple.
"Pindao is the master of the 'True Talisman Temple', Hanrong.
May I ask you, what is your purpose here? "
"My friend, Yang Luming, is passing through here and came here to pay his respects..."
Ye Ming spoke the truth and briefly introduced a few of his fellow travelers.
"This is my daughter Maisui, this is the domestic cat Lei Ling, this is the prisoner Zhu Meihun, this is the fugitive from the imperial court and the gangster Wa Shangfei, and this is the fake monk Chang Hanzhe who hates Taoist priests."
Lei Ling:......
Zhu Meihun:......
Wa Shangfei:......
Chang Hanzhe:......
Wait, Maisui is a girl?
Chang Hanzhe glanced at Maisui, doubting his own knowledge.
It doesn't look like a girl.
After a brief exchange between the two parties, the leader of Hanrong Temple generously invited them into the temple.
The True Talisman Temple lives up to its name, and almost all the disciples in the temple are practicing Talisman Techniques.
According to the leader of Hanrong Temple, their Zhenfu Temple is a sect that specializes in making talismans. Before the decline of the talismans, Zhenfu Temple was also a famous sect.
But now, the disciples, only a few dozen of them, have declined.
"Master, please allow Yang to ask. There is no profound method in the world today that can replace the talisman. How did the talisman art decline to this extent?"
In today's world, although every house will post some talismans on the door and wall, those are low-level talismans, and there are very few high-level talismans.
Upon hearing this, Master Hanrong sighed and said:
“This is not a secret, it is just a factor that cannot be resisted by human beings.
Everything is caused by the fact that the Heavenly Palace is far away from the world. "
"The Heavenly Palace is far away from the world, but it actually affects the Fulu sect?"
"Among the talismans, there is a very important category, which is called divine talismans.
This magical talisman can be drawn through special methods, and the gods in the sky can be asked to send down their mighty power.
Different talismans can call upon the power of different immortals and gods.
With the Heavenly Palace far away, it is no longer possible for the talisman to connect with the immortals and gods in the sky. The magic talisman is almost completely destroyed.
Not only the magical talismans, but also many talismans that rely on summoning the power of heaven and earth to kill enemies are becoming increasingly difficult to connect with the power of heaven and earth. This is equivalent to abolishing another great magical power of the talisman. "
Having said this, Master Hanrong looked sad.
"Now, we Taoist disciples who cultivate the talisman method can only study other less powerful talismans and rely on selling some talismans to mortals to maintain our own existence."
Chang Hanzhe was also listening together. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask:
"Don't you plan to study new talisman methods and just sit back and have nothing?"
Temple Master Hanrong smiled bitterly and said:
"I have thought about it since I had a problem with the talisman, and I have been thinking of a new way.
It's just that today's talisman methods have been accumulated by previous sages over thousands of years.
It can be said that the various uses of talismans have been studied to the extreme.
I and other future generations want to study new methods and come up with them, but it is not easy.
Over the years, there hasn't been much progress.
And with the decline of the talismans, the possibility of researching new methods is getting lower and lower. "
"Speaking of which, there is still no conclusion regarding the distance of the Heavenly Palace. I wonder if your sect knows one or two of the secrets?"
Ye Ming is very curious about this matter, and at the same time he is also afraid that if he dominates the world in the future, and the Heavenly Palace suddenly returns, in that case, it will be great fun.
The master of Hanrong Temple didn't know what Ye Ming was thinking, he just shook his head and sighed:
"The matter of the Heavenly Palace being far away is quite strange, and there were indeed warnings in advance.
However, the Tiangong itself is very secretive about this, and will not let the world know the specific reasons.
Later, when the two parties were unable to communicate, no one could understand at this time.
The rest are just all kinds of unfounded speculations. "
Seeing what Master Hanrong said, Ye Ming asked again:
"Does the temple owner think that Tiangong will come back?"
"Who knows? I'm really looking forward to Tiangong coming back.
But more than 1,500 years have passed, and whether he can come back or not is unknown. "
"The temple owner is saying that the Heavenly Palace has been gone for 1,500 years?"
"Huh? Fellow Daoist Yang doesn't know?"
"Uh, forgive Yang for being ignorant. I really don't know when Tiangong will leave."
Temple Master Hanrong only knew a rough idea. He didn't know the specific month of that year.
In this regard, Ye Ming did not force anything, but from then on, he became more cautious about the affairs of the Heavenly Palace.
He is now slightly more sensitive to this time fifteen hundred years ago.
