Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 136: Spiritual Demon Lord
"An incident happened half a month ago, do you know?"

"But the side of the Canglan River?"

"It seems that the old man has also heard about it. Alas, what kind of world is this? Not long after the barbarians left, a vision suddenly fell from the sky in the south, thunder rumbled, and the night turned into day in an instant."

Traveling from south to north, on the official road to Luodu, men from the three mountains and five mountains, as well as traders and travelers who have traveled long distances, come and go to the teahouses on the roadside, rest here, drink a bowl of herbal tea to relieve the heat, and eat a bite of Coarse grain pancakes, and talk to others about the strange experiences on the way.

"Could it be that there are evil spirits at work? Otherwise, how could such a strange thing happen." Someone at the next table picked up the words and asked.

The night turned into day, and it was amazing wherever it was placed. In the tea shop, tables and tables of guests stopped drinking tea and eating cakes, quietly waiting for the man who just started to say the next thing.

The man didn't hide, took a sip of herbal tea, looked around, and continued: "Perhaps you don't believe me, you think I'm bragging, you will go to the Canglan River in the future, but just ask the local people and you will know." At that time, I was pulling goods across the Canglan River. It was already dark, and I was staying in a small town by the river. The weather was sultry and I slept late. I just closed my eyes. Shaking, many people in the town ran out."

Seeing the man stop, a group of merchants and travelers who were listening hurriedly urged: "And then? Tell me quickly."

"...Then, I got up immediately and woke up all my companions. I thought it was going to rain heavily, so I hurried to the yard to cover the goods so as not to get wet by the rain. As soon as I went out, I saw the sky was covered with clouds. For seventeen or eight miles, the clouds are full of lightning flashes, very scary... But the strange thing is that there is only thunder but no rain, and it is covered on the top of Canglan Mountain, and it keeps hitting!"

Hearing these words, the picture seemed to emerge in the minds of everyone, what kind of scene was the mountain covered with thousands of thunder clouds, and it felt frightening to think about it.

"Could it be that there are monsters crossing the catastrophe?" The man who traveled all over the world heard a lot of rumors and stories, and suddenly thought of some remarks in ghost novels, "I heard that monsters need to go through catastrophe before they can transform into people, or become Taoists." Immortals are going to go through thunder and calamity, brother, could it be that you see this rare thing for us ordinary people, this luck is really gone, and the business and custom-made business will flourish in the future, why don't we have a brother's honor, how about treating us to a meal?"

Strange things, many people just listen to them as stories, now when they see someone making a fuss, they can't help laughing and asking the man who just told the story to ask everyone to pay for the tea and cakes.

"I told you to listen to the story, but you still want to invite you to drink tea and eat cakes?! It's a beautiful idea!" The man was not without his own ideas, and he laughed and cursed at the crowd to cover up the matter, "I just invite you That master over there doesn't invite you either!"

He was talking about a monk sitting on his back in the right corner of the tea shop, with herbal tea and vegetarian cakes. When he heard the bustle coming to him, his stern face just smiled faintly. After unpacking the folded cassock, he strode out of the teahouse with torn monk shoes and headed east.

Occasionally stopping, Monk Zhenhai turned and looked back in the direction of Luodu, as if saying goodbye to a friend over there, bowed vertically, and shouted loudly: "My Buddha is merciful!"

Bathed in the setting sun of early autumn, dragging a tattered monk's robe on the road, I probably went to Wanfo Temple.

Luodu, which was gradually going away behind him, the wind blew the leaves yellow, and it was detached from the branches and whirled to the street, and then was trampled under the hooves of the horses.

Sunset falls.

The horse galloped into the imperial city, and the battle report from Yujian Pass finally arrived in the capital half a month later. The emperor, who was in a special court meeting, waved his sleeves angrily and brushed the golden dragon's head.

"I want to revitalize the country, and there is no conflict with rewarding a cultivator. Why do you repeatedly obstruct it? The Yue people retreated to the north, and all the soldiers have made meritorious deeds. They have all been rewarded. And the cultivator has also made great contributions. I invite What's wrong with him entering the dynasty?!"

"Your Majesty, how can people from other places be able to enter the court when they are idle clouds and wild cranes? Besides, His Majesty has canonized him as a real person and established a living shrine. It is enough to say that it is a last resort."

Gongsun Lun pointed at them with his finger: "You guys, even if you don't get used to it, you can't see through it! The barbarian priests went south with the army, and they dared to kill our soldiers and civilians with magic, but the Tianshi Mansion could only fight with the priests. What, what does the imperial court need? I am afraid that you people also know in your heart that if such a cultivator enters the imperial court, once an exception is made, there will be two, three, or even more, and the rights in your hands will be taken away!! Am I right?!"

The court was quiet for a while, and the emperor above was about to speak, when a palace guard came in with a cylinder.

"Qizou Your Majesty, hurry up to the northwest!"

"Bring it up!"

Gongsun Lun was a little upset when someone interrupted his words, but when he heard that it was the military situation in the Northwest, he still held back his anger. The eunuch who was waiting on the side walked quickly to the gate of the palace with small steps, took the cylinder, and stood in front of the imperial steps in front of the emperor. After removing the seal, he took out an urgent document from inside, held it in both hands, and presented it respectfully in front of the emperor.

As the letter unfolded, Gongsun Lun looked at the above words, and his face that was originally filled with anger suddenly laughed: "Now, Zhuqing will have nothing to say, just read it!"

As he spoke, he threw the urgent document in his hand to the eunuch, signaling to pass it on to all civil and military personnel, and when he arrived, the eunuch simply stood in the middle and read it aloud.

When they heard that the Northwest Army's cobbled-together army had been killed all the way to Nu Cangcheng, the capital city of Juqi, under the spell of a cultivator, beheading hundreds of thousands of people, everyone was shocked in place.

This kind of achievement is a great contribution at any time. Not only will the cultivator want to enter the court as an official, they will not be able to stop them, even the Northwest soldiers over there will want to be promoted to a higher level again. Advisors are incredible.

Gongsun Lun caressed the dragon head on the dragon chair, he was very satisfied with Chao Wenwu's expression, and he was extremely happy in his heart. That cultivator is really his lucky general. As soon as he ascended the throne, the other party will kill Yue Jie in a panic He retreated, and now he even killed the barbarian capital outside the pass without making a sound. Although it was a bit excessive to kill first and then play, but at this time, how could he care about these things.

At that time, it will be recorded in the history books, isn't he the emperor who is wise and mighty?
"Misters, I want a reward, a big reward, don't stop it! If you want to stop it, it's okay, whoever of you leads troops to beat the Yue people, I will listen to you?!"

Long Yan's categorical fall made the court quiet, but the emperor was not happy for long. He sent people to the small courtyard of the Tianshi Mansion in the capital, and wanted to entrust them to find Chen Yuan's whereabouts. The news surprised him, as well as Chao Wenwu.

"died?"

The eunuch who brought back the news nodded, knelt on the ground and said softly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Taoist Priest Yu Chen said this, killing and injuring 10 people, angering the heavens, sending down thunderbolts, and destroying the body and soul. Tianshi Mansion All the priests, buried him under the ancestral hall built by His Majesty."

"God forbid..."

Gongsun Lun sat down on the dragon chair silently, and the dream of a strong country that had just arisen was shattered in just a moment.

After a long while, he finally said, "Draft the decree!"

The emperor pursed his lips, looked at the civil and military faces looking at him, and said softly: "Chen Yuan, even if he hurts the peace of heaven, he can still contribute to the country and hurt himself for the people, which is a great achievement. God The majesty is not tolerated, but I should be grateful to Dade, today, remove the title of real person, seal his name as real king, set up a temple to receive incense forever, and rectify his indelible contribution to our Great Jin."

After saying that, Gongsun Lun got up and went to Fu Baolang, took the seal, looked at the content written on the prepared imperial decree, and finally sealed it heavily.

A ray of light that is difficult for ordinary people to see swayed in the imperial decree, a ray of light rising from the palace, passing through the dark sky, falling to a shrine somewhere in the city, passing through the roof, passing through the paintings full of The yellow silk of the talisman fell on a statue of a god in blue in the middle.

bang bang——

There was the sound of a watchman in the city. The watchman was knocking on his clapper, and walking through the streets and alleys in a tone of voice with a lantern stuck in his neck. In the thin water mist, there were two long figures chasing the soul of a commoner. past.

"I... died? I don't accept..."

"Don't accept? Go to see the city god and redress your grievances!" The Yin servant said in a dull voice, chaining the soul with iron chains and dragging his hands through the fog. In the Shengci Temple over there, a lonely figure was sitting under the eaves like a wisp of smoke, and he couldn't help shouting: "There is also a ghost there, why don't you catch it?!"

The two servants took a look, raised their strangely long arms, and slapped the ghost on the back of the head: "What are you pointing at, Luodu City God passes by here, and he will make three bows to him, who dares to take it? !"

Saying that, the two errants quickly drifted away around the Sheng Temple.

In the distance, in the courtyard outside the building, a thin figure sat on the stone steps, looked at the two errants who fled away, shook his head with a smile,

"How did you become a soul?!"

Chen Yuan glanced back at her god statue, only remembering to rush towards Lei Jie, and then she regained consciousness and became the current state.
