at dusk.
Li Dao
If you look carefully, you will find that there are three big characters on the Taoist doll - Li Daoxuan.
"Master, I didn't expect that your reputation would spread to Luoyang, and there would be people selling your dolls. Hehe, it's really interesting, but they don't look like you at all..."
Changle couldn't put it down for Li Daoxuan's dolls, and always compared them with his master.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled, and said: "If this group of profiteers were to be left to future generations, I would have to sue them.
Forget about making your own doll, at least make it more refined. This doll is so ugly that even Li Daoxuan himself wouldn't be able to recognize it if it wasn't for his name on it.
At this time Xuanzang and Xiaotang came in. He said a little dejectedly: "Brother, I followed the storyteller's instructions and visited all the ruined temples in the east. There were indeed many beggars, but no one had seen my master. .
Obviously, the old beggar with pus all over his body was not in the ruined temple.
Li Daoxuan seemed to have expected it, and said: "That old beggar can be entrusted by Master Sanle. He must be no ordinary person. Such people are often lost in sight. How can it be so easy to find him?"
Xuanzang sighed: "Brother, what should we do?"
Xiaotang couldn't help but said: "Zhenren Li, aren't you the national master of the Tang Dynasty? Why don't you reveal your identity and send people from the government to find the old beggar?"
In her opinion, Shangyang City is so big and just relying on a few of them would undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, let's meet someone tonight. Maybe that person can help us solve our doubts."
"who?"
"Of course he is the one who knows Shangyang City best." Night, Shangyang City, Earth Temple.
Xuanzang and others followed Li Daoxuan to the Earth Temple. He patted his head and praised: "Brother, you are still smart. Why didn't I think of asking the Earth Father?"
The Lord of the Land is usually held by a local famous old man after his death, and he takes the path of becoming a god by using incense. If the incense is strong, the god will be strong, and if the incense is weak, the god will be weak. In severe cases, the soul may even fly away, and the temple will be destroyed and people will die.
When the Heavenly Court was still there, the Earth God was the cornerstone of the immortals and spread all over the world. Although their cultivation was not high, they were well-versed in the area under their jurisdiction, and almost nothing could be hidden from their eyes.
Later, the heaven disappeared and immortals were no longer seen walking in the world. The priesthood of the Earth God also suffered a huge impact. The Earth God in many places gradually disappeared, but in places with strong incense like Shangyang City, land still existed.
"Eh? Master, how come this earthly father-in-law looks a bit like today's storyteller?"
Changle tilted his head and looked at the kind-faced statue of the earth god on the shrine, and suddenly found something familiar. After careful reflection, he found that it was somewhat similar to the storyteller he met today.
He is also short in stature and has a fluttering white beard. Especially with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, he looks a bit nondescript. Xuanzang also reacted and said: "Brother, there seems to be something wrong with this earth lord..."
Li Dao
"I don't care whether he believes in Christianity or Buddhism. In short, the right path is to help us find Master Sanle as soon as possible."
After that, Li Daoxuan ordered Changle to place the fruits he bought at the gathering today in front of the statue of the Earth God. He lit three incense candles and stuck them in the furnace, and took out a talisman paper to summon the gods to send generals.
"In the land of the mandala, the gods are the most powerful. They reach the sky and the earth. They go in and out of the underworld. They preach for me and cannot stay. On the day of merit, the famous book will be clear."
As Li Dao
However, there was silence in the Earth Temple, and there was no response.
Li Daoxuan's eyes moved. He did not rely on his magic power to deceive others. He used the most authentic spell to invite the earth gods in Longhu Mountain. If there were no problems in the process of offering sacrifices, burning incense, making talismans, and reciting the spell, there was only one possibility.
The Earth God of Shangyang City was unwilling to respond to the Taoist disciples’ spells!
Li Dao
He specifically pointed out his identity as a disciple of Longhu Mountain. Logically speaking, whether it is the land or the mountain god, he must abide by the ancient contract and respond to the techniques of the Taoist disciples. Even if something happens and he cannot show up, he must pass on a message. information.
But the landowner in front of him was better off pretending to be dead without even letting out a fart.
Good guy, you don’t even give Longhu Mountain face?
Li Daoxuan wanted to continue urging, but the door of the Earth Temple suddenly closed, and then the earth statue on the shrine continued to tremble and make a rumbling sound, which seemed very strange in the middle of the night.
Snapped! Snapped!
The fruits that Chang Le had worked so hard to arrange were blown away by an invisible force and rolled everywhere on the ground. An old voice resounded in everyone's ears.
·······Version
Apparently faced with the constant urging of Li Daoxuan, a disciple of the Taoist sect, Tutu Gong was really angry. Not only was he unwilling to show up to help, but he even threatened him.
Li Dao
In the Earth Temple, the statue actually spoke by itself. The clay sculpture's mouth opened and closed, emitting an old voice that echoed continuously in the temple, seemingly coming from all directions.
"Today, I will discipline you for your master!"
After saying these words, Tu Tu Gong suddenly spit out streams of white smoke from his mouth, and the surroundings of Li Daoxuan and others immediately turned into a hazy sea of fog, and they could only see clearly three feet around them.
"Master..."
Changle pinched Li Daoxuan's sleeves with some fear and hid behind his master. "Don't worry, with Master here, no one can hurt you."
Li Daoxuan touched her head, and then said in an indifferent voice: "Xiaotian, bite me!" "Woof!"
The Roaring Sky Dog, which had been restrained for a long time, immediately flew over, its body growing in size in the air. In an instant, it transformed from a cute puppy into a divine dog as big as a white elephant, opening its fangs and biting the statue of the Earth God.
In the vast white mist, Li Daoxuan clearly heard a scream. Crackling!
Xiaotian began to demolish the house, knocking over the incense burner and knocking away the idols. Not only did he eat up all the earthly gods' sacrifices, but he also walked up to them and peed on the idols.
"Bah, I give you face, but you don't want it. Are you pretending to be your mother?" "Evil beast!!!"
The Earth God was furious, and his true spirit escaped from the statue. He held a dark brick in his hand, went around to the back of Xiaotian's head and slammed it down!
This is the stepping stone in front of the Earth Temple. It was stepped on by the people. Over time, it condensed a trace of human life. It is not only extremely strong, but also has a certain influence on the soul.
Boom!
Following a muffled sound, Yi Xiaotian's invulnerable monster body staggered a little.
"Young Taoist priest, you dare to feed monsters and allow them to do evil. Today, I will punish you for lax discipline!"
The land turned into a golden light and fled behind Li Daoxuan, and the door brick in his hand was about to be smashed down. "Woof woof!"
Xiao Tian let out a roar, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in his eyes. Although the surrounding white fog blocked his sight, his outstanding sense of smell allowed him to immediately find the location of the Earth God and pounce on him.
Tu Tu wanted to repeat his old trick and hit Xiaotian with a door brick, but Xiao Tian, who had been prepared for it, very dexterously avoided the brick and then bit Tu Tu Gong's thigh.
"It hurts, it hurts!!!"
It was a kind of severe pain that penetrated into the bone marrow. The Earth God shook his whole body like chaff and burrowed into the ground, trying to make Xiao Tian relax.
However, Xiaotian is a great demon in the middle stage of Yin Shen. He has practiced with Li Daoxuan for a long time and has also mastered the method of earth escape. He also followed the earth and burrowed underground, refusing to let go of his life or death.
The entire Earth Temple was shaking, as if there was an earthquake.
After a while, all the vibrations stopped, and Xiao Tian emerged from the ground, holding a little old man in his mouth. The other man's thigh had become bloody and bloody, and he fainted from the pain.
Even the hard door brick was broken into two pieces, which shows the fierceness of the battle. "Woof woof!"
Xiao Tian dragged Tu Tu Gong to Li Daoxuan, shook the dust off his head, and glared at the white-bearded old man.
This old guy's bricks are really hard!
Li Dao Dao?"
The unconscious Landlord's eyelashes trembled.
"There are so many storytellers in Shangyang City. We just arrived today. Why did it happen that we went to the place where you tell stories?"
Li Dao Promote a false prophecy?"
It was not by chance that Li Daoxuan took Xuanzang and others to the teahouse, but because he noticed something unusual about the storyteller in advance. The Shinto aura is very special. If the other party deliberately conceals it, even those in the Taoist sect who practice eye skills may not be able to detect it. But unfortunately, the person he encountered was Li Daoxuan.
Seeing that his disguise was exposed and that the Earth God no longer pretended to be faint, he jumped up suddenly, with a string of shining beads in his hand, and hit the young Taoist priest who looked the most dangerous.
"Little Taoist priest, these precious beads are a gift from Master Huichen. He is Yang——"
Before he finished speaking, the Tudong's voice stopped abruptly. His eyes widened and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. The flying beads suddenly stopped in front of Li Daoxuan. It seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and began to tremble continuously.
Then wisps of bright golden light bloomed on Li Daoxuan's body, like the sun rising and the Xuanyang shining everywhere. The vast and majestic magic power was like a blazing flame, turning the seemingly extraordinary beads into charcoal.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The crisp sound like fried beans kept emerging, and the Buddhist beads exploded one after another, turning from priceless middle-grade magic weapons into worthless scrap metal, rolling down at the feet of the earthly master, and kept popping up. With green smoke.
Li Daoxuan didn't take any action from beginning to end. He just stood quietly with a unicorn jade whisk in his hand, his expression peaceful and calm, and his blue Taoist robe slowly fluttering in the night wind.
"Yang... Yang God!!"
The Earth God's voice was trembling. He didn't cast a spell, didn't come up with a single method, and just relied on the fluctuation of his soul to destroy a middle-grade magic weapon!
The aura that suddenly appeared just now was like the masculine sun and the thunderous thunder. Although Di Gong was not high in cultivation and was only in the early stage of Yin Shen, his vision was sophisticated and he would never be mistaken.
Little Taoist priest?
That was clearly a real Yang Shen!
The Earth God's legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground. He tremblingly saluted: "The little god pays homage to the immortal!"
He smiled bitterly in his heart. This Immortal obviously had tremendous magical power, so he could just use his magical power to capture him, but he still had to go through a process, which made him despise the collision.
Li Dao
It was him who came today, so he could take action to conquer the land, but what if it were a young Taoist priest who had just come down from the mountain? People in the Taoist sect cast spells to ask the land to help, offer incense and candles, and consume mana. Even if the land is unwilling to help, it still needs to return the incense and politely refuse, instead of directly knocking away the sacrifice and swearing like this land.
The Earth God smiled bitterly and said: "The Immortal doesn't know something. It's not that the little god is unwilling to help people in the Taoist sect. It's just that Master Huichen of Baima Temple in Luoyang once issued an order to respect the Buddha. The land of three hundred miles around Luoyang Mountain gods, mountain spirits and wild monsters are not allowed to help those in the Taoist sect!"
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed.
Li Daoxuan had also heard about the abbot of White Horse Temple, a Buddhist Yang god named Hui Chan. He was known as a Buddhist monk with profound Buddhist teachings and unfathomable magical powers. He even killed Guo Yang. The demon king in the middle stage of God!
Although this man was a Buddhist, he was willing to protect the stability of Luoyang. Therefore, the imperial court cooperated with him a lot, and the White Horse Temple even enjoyed many preferential treatment from the imperial court.
Li Dao
What a domineering order to respect the Buddha!
If it were normal times, Li Daoxuan might have gone to Baima Temple to meet with the Hui Chan master, which could be considered as a way to win face for the Taoist sect. But now Master Sanle is in critical condition, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.
"Tui Tu, let me ask you, have you ever seen a monk in Shangyang City with his bare chest and belly, always smiling, and somewhat similar to Maitreya Buddha?"
The Earth God thought carefully, shook his head and said, "The little god has never seen what I said to the immortal." A trace of disappointment suddenly appeared in Xuanzang's eyes.
Li Dao
Tu Tu Gong said without any hesitation: "I've seen him before. In fact, many people in Shangyang City have seen that master. His story is widely circulated!"
Xuanzang asked excitedly: "Where is this master now?"
The Earth God shook his head and said: "He has already left Luoyang. Before leaving, he even gave me a meal of my tribute and said that eating people is soft-spoken. Then he left these four words and disappeared in a rainbow, never to be seen again. "
Li Daoxuan asked: "What four words did the master leave behind?"
The Tugong pointed at a pillar in the temple and said with a wry smile: "These are the four characters that scared me half to death. Everyone looked at it, and sure enough they saw that there were four big characters on the pillar that were crooked like a dog crawling. ——Luoyang is over!
Some people died, but not completely...
