Chapter 221 Coming out of seclusion
Lu Dongli looked down upon him, and then left with his disciples.
After all, if he was really as strong as he looked on the surface, he wouldn't be stuck in such a place.
He led his disciples to another sect.
Now half of the southeast is controlled by Yujing Mountain. Since the last killing of chickens to scare monkeys, many sects have given up resistance and joined the Yujing Taoist Alliance.
Now only Lingnan, which is the most difficult to chew, is left.
There are three major Jindan sects in Lingnan, Xuanlun Mountain, Changle Palace, Mirage Dragon Island, and more than a dozen foundation-building sects.
Although this place with more than 200 million people does not have much resources, it occupies an important position strategically.
On the other side, Daomen's cutting down of mountains and temples is still going on in a small area.
In a mountain village somewhere, most of the mountain villages here have one village and one surname. At night, the villagers hold torches high and gather in the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village.
The village chief and clan leader is a kind-hearted old man.
"Patriarch, Mahakala has killed three people. How about we just obey him? According to his request, we can draw up to two people every month. All of us agree that the person chosen will consider himself unlucky and no one else will. Complain."
"No, it can't be done. I'm going to look for other gods to see if I can find someone to slay the demons." The clan leader firmly objected.
Once you make a deal with a demon, it's like a giant leech parasitizing on your body and sucking blood continuously. And does the demon really keep its promise?
Today it is two, but in the future if my appetite increases, it may be three or five.
Seeing how determined the clan leader was, some people prayed: "Patriarch, you should agree. The Mahakala Demon King is not something ordinary gods can resist. The god died last time."
No matter how everyone tried to persuade him, the patriarch never let go.
Wow! !
At this moment, a strong wind blew up and smoke filled the air.
"Hahahahaha!!" came an extremely arrogant voice regardless of gender.
Black air hovered over the ancestral hall, faintly forming an animal face with two horns on its head.
The moment this object appeared, many people were so frightened that they knelt down on the spot.
"Your Majesty, spare your life!!"
“It’s all the village chief doesn’t want!!”
The villagers were so frightened that they kept kowtowing and some even peed their pants. There was a steaming smell of feces and urine surrounding them.
These were ghosts and gods. The moment they came out, it seemed like the whole world had changed.
Is there anything else in the world that can stop this ghost? The patriarch thought in despair.
He doesn't have much knowledge. Although he is opposed to ghosts and gods, he has not really seen many ghosts and gods, and there is no clear division of the strength of ghosts and gods.
Now that he saw the demon king Mahakala, he was even more shocked.
Soon, a huge mouth formed in the sky.
"You have no chance."
The ghosts and gods made unpleasant and harsh sounds.
When the demon was about to swallow everyone in the ancestral hall, a surprised voice came from not far away.
"Eh? Does it have merit?"
Uh-huh! !
Whizzing!
boom!
A bolt of thunder broke through the roof and struck Mahakala directly on the head.
"Ahhhhh!!" Mahakala's demon king screamed in agony one after another, and finally his soul flew away and disappeared into ashes.
The whole process takes no more than three breaths.
When everyone came back to their senses, they found a young Taoist priest wearing a white robe standing at the door. The Taoist priest had regular features, and the lightning lines between his eyebrows added a sense of nobility. The jade pendant around his waist flashed, as if recording something.
The Taoist priest did not chat with everyone, but was rummaging around on the ground for something, and did not stop until he picked up two bones.
"I am Zhang Dali, the head of Beizhang Village. Who is the god?"
At this time, everyone came to their senses and fell to their knees in front of their savior. The patriarch even took the liberty to ask.
"Master Tao, my Taoist name is Lei Xiaozi, and I am responsible for the Taoist sect. I go down the mountain specifically to support justice and kill demons. You will be safe from now on." Minghao smiled slightly, his expression somewhat similar to Xu Xuan.
"Thank you to the gods for saving me!!"
Everyone bows again.
"Build a Taoist temple in the village. The Taoist temple is dedicated to the tablet of Taoist Master Shenxiao Lei Lei, who slays demons. There must be no statues... The village chief comes to the temple to congratulate you. When the time comes, he will give you a talisman. If you encounter monsters and monsters, you will hide directly in the Taoist temple, and Just crush the talisman."
"Yes!" Everyone was overjoyed. This god was obviously more reasonable than the demon just now. The clan leader asked cautiously, "I wonder how many offerings the god needs? How many people per month? There are few people in Beizhang Village. Can one per month be okay?"
Minghao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The Taoist sect is orthodox in the three realms. It upholds the righteousness and does not engage in evil spirits, ghosts, or heretics. In the future, blood sacrifices will not be allowed, and the agricultural tax will be reduced to 10%. Please remember this."
"ah?"
Everyone looked at each other.
No blood sacrifice? Ban blood sacrifices?
They couldn't understand this kind of thing based on their world view, and they didn't react until Minghao left.
"Quick, I will personally supervise and build a Taoist temple." The patriarch said excitedly, "No one is allowed to be lazy, otherwise I will kill him!!"
This is the first time for everyone to see this kind of Taoism, and they can only be described as selfless.
A seed of recognition sprouted in their hearts.
This situation often happens in various towns and villages. Taoist disciples spread the idea of Taoist sect by doing good deeds, making people identify with their cause. In the future, when choosing disciples, they don't have to go through a long transformation, and the probability of passing the illusion is higher.
Soon, another ten years or so passed.
In Qiyun Mountain, the number of Taoist disciples exceeded 800.
The number of foundation builders is still eight.
The second round of recruiting apprentices started three years ago, and this time it was the Miao Zi generation.
Bai Xuanfa.
At the mountain gate of the sect, green mist fills the air, and the tall gate tower is looming. In the green mist, ghosts and gods patrol with lanterns.
Green face, fangs, disheveled hair.
As the protectors of Taoism, ghosts and gods are ferocious but not bloody. This is the difference between Taoism and other sects. The ghosts and gods here only eat incense and spiritual energy, so they are more majestic and less terrifying.
The person who controls the ghosts and gods is a young man. This young man feels careless, as if nothing can arouse this person's interest.
This is the white method, or the white method.
This person gives Taoist disciples a very strange feeling. They always feel that no matter what he does, he always gives people a feeling of being ordinary.
As one of the geniuses recruited by the first Taoist sect, Bai Fa received a lot of attention. He was the slowest among the three geniuses in practice.
Only now can I reach the middle stage of nourishing qi.
The weird thing about this person's character is that he likes to debate the essence of Taoism. He wants to ask questions clearly about everything, instead of just starting to practice like other disciples.
The slow progress in cultivation may be the reason for this. Call him a slut, but no one thinks so, because he is the second person in the Taoist sect to learn the thunder method.
In the entire Taoist sect, these two people are the only ones who know the thunder method. Although Bai Fa's thunder method cultivation is slightly inferior, they are still thunder methods after all.
Bai Fa gradually fell into a trance beside the gate tower, and he didn't know what problem he thought of. For a person like him who has basically enjoyed all material things, only this mysterious and mysterious road can attract his interest.
Suddenly, he looked to his side with sharp eyes.
"who?"
"It's me!!" Minghao was startled.
"Oh, it turns out to be Senior Brother." Bai Fa smiled happily, "Sorry, I was just lost in thought."
"Haha, it's okay. I just wanted to scare you, but your reaction is pretty quick."
Minghao was secretly surprised, this boy's spiritual consciousness was so strong.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then said goodbye and left one after another.
On the other side, the door of the Bronze Hall is open.
The old man Fu Tongling had been waiting for a long time.
The moment Xu Xuan's figure appeared, Fu Tongling's eyes felt stinging, and he felt as if he was facing the thunder directly.
He was secretly surprised. The Tao Master's Shenxiao Taoism had become stronger again, and he looked like a god of thunder descending to earth. People couldn't help but wonder, is the Taoism practiced by the Tao Master the same as in this world?
"How is the situation in the Taoist sect?" Xu Xuan asked.
It has not appeared for twenty years, because the people I have come into contact with are all monks, so I have no sense of the vicissitudes of life.
"Everything is fine..." Fu Tongling said some data, and finally remembered something and said, "Yujingshan once sent someone over and asked us to join the Tao Alliance."
"What are the conditions?"
"Thirty percent of the sect's income, and they arranged for us to be responsible for the production of certain spiritual objects, as well as the blood sacrifice quota for 3,000 people every year. They said we could discuss it later."
"There's no need to talk. There's nothing to do with the evil sect." Xu Xuan objected.
"I also refused."
"Then what? Will they not take action?"
"They may have to take action, but there are still stronger forces that need them to take action. I guess we are still a little behind." Fu Tongling said with a bitter smile.
Xu Xuan was a little speechless, and then said: "You really look down on us, it's time to show them some color."
"What does Taoist master mean?"
"This time I will personally lead the team and tell the Taoist disciples to finish all tasks at hand and prepare to cut down the mountains and destroy the temples!"
"yes!!"
Xu Xuan comes out of the mountain for the first time, and the Taoism from another world is about to shine.
At this time, the other party was also planning an attack against Xu Xuan.
A luxurious golden palace somewhere.
Xuan Cangtian sat across from a monk whose figure was illusory and whose facial features could not be seen clearly.
Xuan Cangtian said worriedly: "Yujing Mountain is dealing with Mirage Dragon Island. We are responsible for dealing with Daomen. Xu Xuan is not easy to mess with. He knows thunder magic."
"Thunder spell?" The illusory figure said in a surprised tone, "Are you sure it was the thunder spell, or was it released by this person? Isn't it some kind of magic circle?"
"Not sure, but it does look a bit like a magic circle. Xu Xuan only takes action when he reaches a certain distance."
"That's easy. If we two golden elixirs lead the disciples to burn and kill all the way, we don't have to go up the mountain and force Xu Xuan down the mountain to surround and kill them. I want to see if they are honest with the propaganda side!"
"This is a great plan!!"
