Things in the world are chaotic and endless.
Everyone says that gods are good.
However, in order to become immortals, Taoist priests took advantage of the fame and fortune in this world to the extreme.
So, is becoming an immortal far away from the secular world, or approaching the secular world?
The water of Qiantang River is mighty and powerful, bypassing villages and then rushing into the sea.
The false gods who are trying to gain official status swim conscientiously in the river, smooth the waves, and protect ships, just to gain a good reputation, wait for the opportunity, officially build temples, and enjoy the incense of the main temple.
It’s not like there aren’t false gods who use threats, coercion, and intimidation to forcefully obtain incense.
It’s just that things like this mostly happen in remote and desolate places.
The Qiantang River connects the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River. Not only are the righteous gods taking care of it, but the divine court of Emperor Shenhui is also nearby. No false gods dare to mess around.
As for these false gods, they dare to come out to "work" to earn money.
That's of course because there are people behind them.
Among them, Taoists from the Shenxiao lineage accounted for the majority.
In addition, Taoists from Louguan Tao, Longmen Tao, Tianshi Tao, and Qingwei Tao also participated.
In short, it ends up being... evenly affected by rain and dew.
The shortcut is here, and there are not many people who take it.
Even though the latecomers knew that it was really a fair with thousands of people going to the market and one person eating meat, they still rushed in with great interest.
Everyone thinks they will be the special one.
There are dozens of black cypress trees lined up along the river, their leaves as red as fire.
In late autumn, when you look up, you can see a rather depressing scene.
The weeds in front of and behind the village have also turned yellow. Under the setting sun, they add a bit of color and look even more desolate.
Cao Zhe was walking on the muddy path, thinking a lot along the way.
"There is no doubt that a wave of competitors has come to this world."
"At least one wave!"
"Wang Su, a hundred years ago, was a competitor. He used the method of becoming a god to create external help on his own, and then borrowed external factors to promote internal factors, and became an immortal in one fell swoop."
"This method is barely enough."
"Of course, it's just like that... After losing the blessing of the special environment, it's really hard to say how much cultivation this person can regain after returning to reality. Compared with the cultivation of normal monks, one step at a time, , after all, it is still far behind." Cao Zhe did not completely deny this method of 'consecrating gods'.
Any path should have its merits.
It doesn't seem like it's going to work at the moment... That's just because we haven't gone far enough.
If the anointed god transcends specific 'authorities' and reaches a conceptual level, he can even spread his reputation to the heavens and the world.
So what will be the feedback benefits obtained as a person who becomes a god?
Cao Zhe did have some ideas.
But I have no desire to practice it myself, at least not yet.
The act of "finding a backer" for himself by placing his own strength and development on another being with the ability to think independently is not very popular with Cao Zhe.
He does not deny this approach, but he is also allowed to dislike it.
Cao Zhe was walking, looking and thinking.
When I walked to the entrance of a village, I heard the harsh sound of fighting.
Looking up, he saw a man holding a sword, doing whatever he wanted among the demon soldiers.
His body is shrouded in divine light, and he is obviously backed by a righteous god, and is not a random wild man with no origins.
However, those demon soldiers came well prepared.
Not only was he equipped with a God-breaking crossbow designed to break the divine light, but he also prepared a lot of black dog blood and sunflower water bombs. Although they were not on the stage, they could break many of the Taoist's spells, making it difficult for him to use his strength to the fullest.
If the entanglement continues, even if this person is not captured by mistake, he will be seriously injured.
At this moment, two strong men suddenly came out, one from the left and one from the right.
The monster soldiers were knocked off their feet by the collision.
Behind the two of them, starlight shone, and each of them vaguely revealed some strange phenomena.
It was as if there was a god standing behind the two of them, giving them blessings.
Under the blessing of starlight, the power of the swords, axes, and guns in their hands cannot be underestimated.
The most important thing is not to be afraid of dirty things like black dog blood, and the formation of demon soldiers will be scattered under the impact.
The Taoist was given time to fight back.
The Taoist jumped left and right, and the long sword in his hand let out bursts of dragon roars.
A dragon false god, entrenched on his sword, flew out in the form of sword light.
A large number of demon heads were crushed in an instant.
These monster soldiers fell to the ground and turned into elk, roe deer, wild boar, black bear and other wild animals.
"These demon soldiers don't look like demons from the Central Plains, but they seem to come from outside the Pass."
"The Taoist Master is afraid that he has caused some big trouble and actually attracted these demon soldiers to chase him here!"
"But the Dragon King of the Qiantang River may have reaped the benefits. Otherwise, he would have known nothing about the demon soldiers from outside the Pass and had not intercepted them." The man holding a short gun restrained the starlight behind him, and then said .
There is also a big man holding two axes, who looks more calm.
He glanced at the man holding a short gun, and then said: "Don't blame me, Taoist priest! My brother is a bit more outspoken."
"My two brothers are hunters here. Seeing the Taoist being besieged by these monster soldiers, they came here to help without any other thought."
When the Taoist heard this, he laughed and said: "The two of them are equipped with the power of generals. They must be under the care of the stars. How can they be ordinary hunters?"
"If you are here for the Jade Sutra, I advise you not to bother."
"I will never give it up to you hawks and lackeys."
The man holding a short gun suddenly said angrily: "You are such a ignorant person."
"My two brothers came to your rescue, but not only did you not say a kind word, but you said such slanderous words."
The Taoist sneered: "I, Changchun Ziqiu Chuji, have been traveling around the world for twenty years. I have seen many treacherous villains. I am best at concealing myself and pretending to be a loyal knight."
"How can you hide this from me?"
Master Cao, who happened to be passing by at this time, said "Eh" when he heard this name.
Then with a thought, the big net on his arm unfolded, covering an area in an instant.
"Changchunzi, Qiu Chuji, Quanzhen sect, Wang Chongyang, Wujue Sanren... Jiangxinghou Guo Xiaotian, Yang Tiexin... what are these?"
"Is it possible that there is something going on in The Legend of the Condor Heroes?" Cao Zhe's expression became strange.
Although some of the names are familiar.
But when compared with things... it doesn't seem so reliable.
For example, Huang Yaoshi of the East China Sea, who was granted the title of Dragon Lord of the East China Sea, was once the Prime Minister of the country for ten years. Now he lives in seclusion on Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea. He has become an immortal and created the blessed land of Peach Blossom Island.
Hong Qigong, a beggar from the north, was responsible for the inheritance of Louguan Taoism and was granted the title of Eighth Route Mao God in the North. He was also a land god, but he had no fixed address and had not heard of being stationed in a blessed place.
Xidu Ouyang Feng, a traitor of the Shenxiao Sect, conferred the title of 300 false gods on the White Camel Mountain outside the Pass, and usurped the position of the leader of the Jinlun Kingdom. With the power of a small country, he supported 300 false gods, and integrated many divine powers into himself, which is unpredictable. .
Master Yideng of the Southern Emperor proclaimed himself the Lamp-Lighting Buddha, and with the whole country's efforts he was able to become a god. He was only one step away from becoming a righteous god and realizing the way of the gods and Buddhas.
These four are the four most outstanding practitioners in the world today.
Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect has long since ascended to immortality and entered the Heavenly Palace, rarely caring about mortal affairs anymore.
