Three days later,
There are crisscrossing streets and narrow paths.
Two men in green robes, one behind the other, trudged along the winding path.
The breeze blew, and the green waves rolled and rustled in the crop fields.
This is clearly Chu Chen and the Taoist Priest.
There was no third person beside the two of them, and there was no sign of the little Taoist boy.
It's not that Chu Chen won the Taoist priest's "favor", but within a few days he "snatched the love" and kicked the little Taoist boy out of the school.
now,
The little Taoist boy was lying in the jar on the bookcase behind Chu Chen, soundly asleep and enjoying himself.
Speaking of which, this can be considered an extremely terrifying thing.
Chu Chen is a human, not a donkey, but the little Taoist "little ghost" is not a human at all, but a genuine imp.
The black shadows that night were not human beings, but soldiers and horses under the command of the Taoist Master.
The so-called soldiers and horses are also ghosts.
Many heretical people like to raise ghosts for their own use, and there are countless "five ghost transports" and the like.
The heretic and Dharma monks practice military and horse magic, which they call the "Five Rampant Soldiers and Horses".
Immortal officials of the Celestial Dynasty and Taoist priests with complete inheritance of their master's sect also practice military and horse magic, which are generally called "celestial soldiers and heavenly generals" and "yin soldiers and yin generals".
Soldiers and horses can be recruited by oneself, and the heavenly court and the master sect will also mobilize them. It is a very important life-protecting spell for Taoist monks.
In other words, Chu Chen unknowingly danced with ghosts all night.
At that time, I suddenly realized that it was a bit scary.
But after getting familiar with it, I felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
After a few days, he and the little ghost got along very well, and the little ghost liked him quite a lot.
During the chat with the little ghost boy, he learned about the origin of the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest's surname is Xu Mingping, his nickname is Yunshui Taoist, and he is a disciple of the Lingshan sect.
This Lingshan Mountain is not a holy place of Buddhist Lingshan Mountain, but an ordinary mountain in Qingzhou with little reputation.
Lingshan Sect is not a big sect, and there are not many disciples in the sect.
besides,
Chu Chen also learned a lot of common sense that he should have known from Taoist Xu Ping and Xiao Guizai, and gained a preliminary understanding of the background of this world.
This world is similar to the previous ancient world.
The myths and legends of this world also include the Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperials, the Five Elders, the Heavenly Tribes and other deities. They are almost the same as the Taoist myths of the previous life, but they are not from any ancient dynasty in the previous life.
Here, witches, demons, demons, ghosts and gods, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism coexist.
Among the hundreds of schools, Confucianism and Taoism were the most prosperous and the most prominent sect in the world, followed by Taoism.
The reason why such a pattern was formed was entirely due to the Emperor Taizu of the Dachang Dynasty—Ji Chang.
Thousands of years ago, the world was like a prison, separated from life and death, weapons and plagues, demons and demons were everywhere, and ghosts and gods were in chaos. In addition, various sects and factions were fighting for each other. Hundreds of millions of people in the world were enslaved by demons and gods.
On this occasion, the saint Dachang Taizu descended from heaven.
Taizu swept across the world, expelled barbaric monsters from the wilderness, suppressed the demons from the abyss, cut down mountains and destroyed temples, destroyed evil gods, and made the dark world clear and clear.
As a result, all the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful and pure.
After ruling the world and creating the Great Prosperity, the Human Emperor initiated changes for the sake of peace and stability in the world.
The Dachang Celestial Dynasty has great majesty and awe-inspiring aura.
Confucian and Taoist officials gathered their Confucian and Taoist literary hearts, cultivated a powerful Qi, gathered the will of all people, and controlled the prestige of the country, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Celestial Dynasty.
With the support of Taizu, Confucianism and Taoism suddenly emerged in a short period of time and became unparalleled.
Taoist practitioners practice alchemy internally and cultivate talismans externally.
Talisman is given by the gods. To learn the method of talisman, a Taoist must be taught the talisman, be listed in the talisman, make an alliance with the heaven, and be able to channel the spirit and realize the truth.
Taizu unified the world's dharma lineage into one lineage, unified all dharma with one dharma, opened the altar of ten thousand dharma sects, passed down the talismans and scattered talismans on behalf of the heaven, and selected the immortal officials of Tiancao.
Except for the Taoist monks who are dedicated to self-cultivation, obsessed with alchemy, and seeking personal self-transcendence, the other Taoist monks who practice martial arts need to go to the imperial capital to teach in order to pursue the path to immortality.
Divine power on the left hand, monarchy on the right hand.
Taizu merged humans and gods into one, becoming a human emperor in the true sense, invincible and supreme in the world.
Speaking of this period of history, Taoist priest Xu Ping felt quite sad.
As for Taizu, Taoist Xu Ping has not commented.
But Chu Chen could tell that Taoist Yun Shui admired Taizu from the bottom of his heart.
After Chu Chen heard this history, he felt sincere admiration.
Establish your mind for heaven and earth,
To establish a destiny for the people,
To carry on the unique learning to the saints,
May peace be created for all eternity!
Thousands of years have passed since the past, and Taizu has already attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.
The Dachang Emperor's throne was inherited by the direct descendants of Taizu, and the emperor was elected every fifty years. The meritorious ones were selected and the inheritance was orderly.
Regardless of whether he has done well or badly, once his fifty-year term is up, Emperor Dachang will abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.
Emperors who did well during their term of office either ascended to the upper world and became immortals or became gods in the underworld after abdicating the throne. There were few emperors who remained in the human world.
The Dachang Kingdom was prosperous, and the contemporary Emperor Lingwei was the twenty-third emperor. He had been in power for more than forty years and was considered quite accomplished.
During his tenure, the world was stable, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, and the world was at peace.
If we follow the usual practice, Emperor Lingwei has made remarkable achievements, has a long and far-reaching path to immortality, and can live forever.
But unfortunately, it backfired.
In recent years, supernatural events have occurred frequently in various parts of the world, evil spirits and heretics are rampant, and people everywhere are complaining and resenting boiling.
Emperor Lingwei was quite annoyed by this. In the last ten years of his term, whoever dared to make a mistake would be in trouble with him and miss his path to immortality.
As a result, Emperor Lingwei issued an edict and sent immortal officials to various places to exorcise evil spirits, suppress demons, and cleanse the world.
Speaking of which, Chu Chen had to thank Emperor Lingwei.
Taoist Yunshui was apparently an immortal official of Dachang. He was ordered by the emperor to go to Xin'an County, Qingzhou to serve as Master Yuanhua.
Master Yuanhua is the official official of Dachang.
Taoist immortal officials, like Confucian and Taoist officials, are divided into nine grades and eighteen ranks.
Master Yuanhua of Xin'an County is a seventh-grade immortal official.
Yun Shuidao, the chief priest of Xinbei Exorcist Academy, is the Immortal (seventh grade), Xin'an County Master Yuanhua (seventh grade), and is promoted to the Xin'an City God.
How big an official is this?
The North Pole Exorcism Academy is a department of heaven. Its main deity is the Zhongtian North Pole Ziwei Emperor, one of the four emperors. He is the "supervisor of the three realms and the place where all evils are captured". It is responsible for examining the merits and demerits of ghosts and gods, and exorcising evil spirits.
Yan Zhenqing, the great calligrapher of the previous generation, also came from the Arctic Exorcist Academy. According to historical records, he served as the left judge of the Arctic Exorcist Academy.
Being a member of the Seventh-grade Arctic Exorcist Academy sounds very powerful, but it is a false position. The scope of management is too wide, and it is often difficult to intervene at will.
Master Yuanhua of Xin'an County is the Taoist priest's actual job.
In Xin'an County, Taoist Xu Ping is at the same level as the county magistrate. He is the highest-level immortal official in the local Taoist sect and the number one immortal official in the county. He is responsible for any supernatural events such as monsters, demons, ghosts, and gods in the county, exorcise evil spirits, and can also intervene. In Xin'an City God's Palace, the school examines the merits and demerits of ghosts and gods.
If necessary, he has the right to recruit soldiers and horses from Xin'an City God's Palace to kill demons and eradicate evil spirits.
In Xin'an County, the Taoist priest still has a good reputation.
The sky is burning with fire, and the sunset is blowing on my face.
After driving for three days in a row, Chu Chen followed Taoist Xu Ping and was about to enter the boundary of Xin'an County.
"Master, Brother Chen, there is a village ahead. Let's stay here tonight! It's getting late."
The little kid took it out of the bookcase behind Chu Chen, put his hands on his shoulders, and draped himself in the sunset, pointing at the smoke from the kitchen in the distance and making a suggestion.
"No need, we can enter Xin'an County right away. We can get to Xin'an first while it's dark and we can still travel some distance."
Although the Taoist priest rejected the little ghost boy's proposal, he turned around and took away the book box behind Chu Chen.
Without saying anything, he held the book box in one hand as if he had nothing, and walked quickly.
Chu Chen's whole body suddenly relaxed and felt comfortable all over.
Lao Xu is a very nice person except that he is a bit boring and a bit old-fashioned and serious.
Chu Chen smiled briskly, his steps became brisk, and he quickly followed Taoist Xu Ping.
Not long after leaving,
Taoist priest Xu Ping suddenly turned around, stepped from the official road onto the narrow path on the field ridge, and headed towards the previous village.
Chu Chen was wondering and wanted to ask.
As a result, the old man's low and choked crying could be heard faintly in his ears.
Evening, lonely village, old man, crying...
Chu Chen stopped for a moment, he wouldn't have encountered any supernatural events...
