Chapter 146 Consecration

Paper moths flew and surged towards the Blackwater River.

After feeling the pleasure of flying for a while, Yu Lie calmed down, sat on the back of the paper moth obediently, and looked at the direction in which his group flew.

To his surprise, the crowd slowed down after traveling upstream for only half a cup of tea above the Heishui River.

Whoops!

There was a sound of paper flipping, mixed with birds chirping, bats squeaking, etc., and it was noisy.

I saw that the place where the people fell happened to be a confluence point of the Heishui River. At this place, the Heishui River diverged into a tributary and went along a ridge line, which seemed to be a channel dug by hand.

At this junction, there are exactly three hills, which surround the Blackwater River.

Yu Lie and other people in the Heishui River fell on a mountain peak between the mainstream and the tributaries.

Zila!There was another sound of tearing and rotting talisman paper.

As soon as Yu Lie and the group of high-ranking Taoist boys landed on the ground, the paper moths they sat on destroyed themselves, turning into pieces of shredded paper, which drifted away with the wind.

Daoist Danfang and others led the team, stood at the front of the cliff, waved their hands, and signaled the people behind them to find a place to sit cross-legged.

A burst of chattering sound resounded above the three mountain peaks.

Yu Lie saw the people around him start to move around. He looked down and found that the hill where everyone was sitting was covered with many stone futons scattered around.

These stone futons are already covered with moss and other things. It seems that they have been prepared here a long time ago and have been neglected.

Yu Lie didn't come close to find a futon to sit down on, but looked around the venue, walked up to She Shuangbai cleverly, then bowed to the other party, and chose a stone futon that was close to the other party.

"Hall Master She, please stay safe!"

Seeing that it was Yu Lie who was talking to her, She Shuangbai calmly clapped her hands and replied, "I've seen fellow Daoist Yu."

Seeing that the other party was in a good mood today, Yu Lie took the opportunity to chat with the other party.

This is because he was not very old when he was promoted to a high-ranking Taoist boy. Among the high-ranking people in the audience, he knew only a few, and the one he was most familiar with was She Shuangbai.

Moreover, She Shuangbai's strength and background cannot be underestimated. In the next training activities, he might hug each other's thighs and make a partner.

Therefore, during the conversation with She Shuangbai, Yu Lie was still the hall master on the left and the hall master on the right, with a respectful attitude.

She Shuangbai saw that Yu Lie had become a superior, and his attitude remained the same as before, maintaining respect for himself, and he talked with Yu Lie in a friendly manner.

Yu Lie suddenly asked in a low voice: "By the way, Hall Master She, do you have any idea about the next reward? I think in the town, the Hall Master's contribution should be one of the best, and this time there must be a lot of rewards..."

Hearing this question, She Shuangbai's eyes under the mask rolled with a half-smile, glanced at Yu Lie, and joked:
"Why, fellow daoist Yu began to feel sorry for the two high-ranking heads that were sent to the poor Taoist? One head is a great achievement."

While everyone was discussing, a black wind suddenly appeared on the nearby hilltop.

The force of the wind was not small, even though everyone present at the meeting was at least a high-ranking Taoist boy, their bodies were still shaken by the blowing, swinging on the stone futon.

"Jie!"

A burst of old laughter sounded:

"The two fellow daoists were obedient, and brought all the little fellows here in time."

Amidst the black wind, a figure suddenly took shape, revealing the black gossip robe on the opponent.

This person is obviously the old beggar Yu Lie visited late at night, but the other person's demeanor and demeanor are not at all similar to the ones he has seen before.

A cold and strong aura rose from the other party's body and landed in the perception of Yu Lie and others, as if a fierce tiger had descended into the sheepfold, making them shudder.

Even the four people, including Daoist Danfang, who were arrogant and bossy when they came here, now lower their heads, and are extremely respectful to the old beggar who suddenly appeared above the Heishui River, the Lord of Heishui.

Buzz!

Just as the other party laughed, the black clouds surrounding the other party spread out, like dark tassels, wriggling strangely in mid-air.

At this time, there were bursts of breathing and hissing sounds among the crowd of Daotong.

It turned out that the black wind and cloud enveloping the other party was not a magic spell, but a black insect as big as a bean, gathering and dispersing in mid-air, rolling and wriggling.

Seeing this scene, even She Shuangbai, whose strength and identity have always been somewhat mysterious, changed his eyes slightly, and whispered:
"The Lord of Black Water is indeed not an ordinary person!"

Seventh-rank Taoist officials, compared to eighth-rank Taoist disciples or ninth-rank Taoist boys, have more powerful mana, and their generation can also get out of their bodies, but only the powerful ones can rely purely on their own. Mana, standing in mid-air, walking in the air.

Such a move is a major change among the 36 changes, which is called "lifting off the ground", and it is also the last change in the seventh-rank Taoist stage.

At this time, the Lord of the Black Water Temple, after the swarm of insects around him dispersed, was relying on his own mana to stand in mid-air.It wasn't the swarm that lifted him up.

In other words, Heishui Guanzhu is a high-ranking Taoist who has completed the fourth change of the Taoist stage, and he is only one step away from the sixth-rank Taoist priest.

Daoist Danfang and others also stared enviously and fieryly at the master of Heishui.

On the contrary, the unremarkable Yu Lie in the crowd was in a good mood.

Yu Lie knew early on that the master of the Black Water Temple practiced the way of Gu insects, and he was appreciated by the other party and was given two worms, so he was not surprised that the master of the temple came out driving the swarm of insects.

And there are rumors that the other party is about to die of old age, and the master of Heishui Temple must be not young.

Moreover, only the big bottleneck between Taoist officials and Taoist priests will make the other party face the possibility of failing to break through and dying.

Otherwise, as long as the opponent's cultivation still has a little hope, they will not be willing to stop here, and will not play and have fun in Heishui Town all day long, but will go to places such as counties, cities, and states to find opportunities for breakthroughs.

After all, the other party is the No. 1 town established by Heishuihe, and he can come and go freely, and there will be no laws or rules that can strictly restrain the other party.

Therefore, Yu Lie also suspects that the Heishui temple master is very likely to be a high-ranking Taoist official when he came here to establish a Taoist town. A lot of places, but the rest of life.

The three peaks converged, and the coercion of the Lord of the Black Water swept across all directions.

When the other party looked around, he seemed to glance at Yu Lie inadvertently.

Just this one glance made the calm Yu Lie feel a creeping sense of panic.

Because of the strong sense of coldness, it appeared on his body in an instant, and he felt as if the other party saw through the inside and outside, and appeared naked in the other party's eyes.

"Spiritual consciousness?" Yu Lie was startled.

According to the records in the "Book of Taoism", from the seventh-rank Taoist officials, the thoughts of Taoists can be separated from the body, and they can cultivate their spiritual consciousness.Taoist officials are able to control magical weapons from a distance by relying on their spiritual sense. Compared with Taoist disciples, their methods are not at the same level in terms of type or power.

Suddenly, two chuckling voices sounded:

"Master Dao, it's been so many years, you still like to scare the juniors. I think we were scared enough by you when we first saw you."

"The demeanor of the Daoist priest has not diminished at all."

These two voices sounded from the two mountain peaks next door, and they were people from Lumu Town and Huangsha Town.

And the two people who spoke were not standing on the mountain, but suspended.

They were either riding a bamboo horse under their crotch, wearing upright blue clothes, or wearing golden Taoist robes, which drooped and fell on a yellow carpet.

Except for these two people, the rest of the Taoists in the two towns next door, no matter the leader of the Taoist or the Taoist boys, all sat or stood on the rocks, inferior to others.

No need to think too much, the two people speaking here must be the mayors or temple masters of Lumu Town and Huangsha Town.

And Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard what the other two said.

He realized that most of his previous guesses were correct. The Taoists or priests in the town next door most likely came out of Heishui Town.

A cold hum sounded.

The Lord of the Black Water Temple walked in the air, above the rushing Heishui River, glanced at the Tsing Yi and the Golden Robe, and flicked his sleeves violently, stirring up the black mist swarms beside him. Two sharp claws were condensed respectively, and they rushed towards each other.

"Daozhang, you are quite old, why do you get angry so easily?"

"Exactly, if the magic power is injured, the Taoist priest may be unable to do so when he opens the secret realm later, and he will lose his status."

The sound of chuckling continued to sound from the mouths of Tsing Yi and Jin Pao.

Hearing the words, the master of Heishui became even more angry, and immediately wanted to mobilize his magic power to beat up these two unfilial juniors.

But the green-clothed Taoist and the golden-robed Taoist waved the talismans or utensils in their hands, scattered the swarms of insects and their claws, and landed on the mountain again, confessing in a hurry:

"The Taoist priest calm down, we just haven't seen the Taoist priest for many years, and we are just joking with the Taoist priest."

They changed their previous arrogant attitude and took the initiative to salute and bow to the Lord of the Black Water Temple.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, the anger on the face of Heishuiguan disappeared a lot, and he smiled and cursed:

"Two Shuzi, I think you want to piss off the old man early, and no one will care about you from now on."

Tsing Yi and Jin Pao heard the words of the Black Water Monastery, their eyes flickered in unison, but they still held the junior ceremony in their hands, and they also held the Black Water Monastery Master in their words.

When the leaders of the three towns exchanged ideas with each other, Yu Lie and these Taoist boys also had different thoughts.

It's just that their identities and strengths are low, and they dare not say a word, they just sit quietly, like wooden people.

"All right."

Finally, the Heishui temple master above the confluence of the rivers flicked his sleeves again and said:
"The little ones can't wait any longer, you two just stop talking nonsense."

Tsing Yi and Jin Pao looked at each other, and they both bowed their hands towards the temple master of Heishui: "Yes, Taoist priest!"

"Respectfully ask the Taoist priest to consecrate and consecrate the talisman, and strengthen my Heihe Taoist system!"

The shouts sounded from the mouths of the two, deafening.

Immediately, these words fell into the ears of Yu Lie and the others, shaking their hearts!
All the Taoist boys were shocked, and their eyes almost popped out.

"Isn't it about merit and deeds?" This doubt first exploded in everyone's minds, and then a feeling of surprise and joy jumped out:

"Blessing!?"

Even Yu Lie had expressions of joy and surprise on his face.

He pondered for a while, and quickly looked at She Shuangbai who was beside him, and found that she was wearing a mask. Although the expression on his face could not be seen, his eyes were obviously in a daze, and he didn't know why there was such a thing.

The Taoist boys couldn't bear it anymore, and they talked in low voices: "I heard you right, are the Taoist priests going to consecrate the talisman?"

Basically, all Taoist boys have a look of expectation and doubt.

The granter, as the name suggests, is to bestow Taoism.

The Taoist talisman is the most important identity certificate for the Taoists in the mountains and seas. At the beginning, Yu Lie was valued by the young master of the Wa family. The other party wanted to take him away from Heishui Town. refused.

The consecration and consecration of the talisman is also the most important witness for the Taoist boy to cross the threshold of the eighth and ninth grades.

Because after Dao Tong passed the entrance examination, although they already possessed the Taoist talisman in name, they had no magic power, let alone real energy, so they couldn't condense the Taoist talisman on their own.

Dao Tong just obtained Dao Ji, was recorded by the Dao court, and enjoyed the treatment of possessing Dao books.

Only after consecration and the granting of dragon energy, the Taoist boys visualize a Taoist talisman in their minds, can they obtain their own Taoist talisman, and then connect with the dragon energy of the Taoist court to become a real eighth-rank Taoist The benefits are not just on paper.

But generally speaking, consecration and consecration will only be carried out after the Taoist cultivates his true energy and becomes a genuine eighth-rank creature.

Strong doubts appeared in the hearts of all Taoist boys:

"Is this true or not?" They were looking forward and worried.

The Heishui temple master above the Heihe River heard the words of the Tsing Yi Taoist and the golden robe Taoist. He nodded as usual, and said one more sentence in his mouth:
"It's best if you don't have any objections, it just saves the old man a little trouble."

Apparently, the "consecration and talisman" that Taoist Tsing Yi and Taoist Jinpao talked about had the consent of Temple Master Heishui, and it was even possible that Temple Master Heishui had ordered it in advance.

In an instant, a strong look of surprise appeared on the faces of all the Taoist boys, and they all thought to themselves: "Really? I haven't practiced to become a Taoist, so I can have a Taoist talisman!?"

Yu Lie sat among them, his heart beating unbelievably.

In fact, this is the most important thing for Taoists. It is not only a symbol of status, but also closely related to many benefits.

Among them, the point that is most relevant to them now is that anyone who has the Taoist scriptures in advance is equivalent to having half a foot, and has stepped into the gate of the eighth-rank Taoist.

This kind of treatment is often only available to the children of wealthy families. It is the "shadow" of the predecessors or ancestors, so as to increase the probability of future generations being promoted to Taoism.

However, another big doubt also appeared in the calmer Daotong's mind:
"Heishui, Greenwood, and Huangsha, these three towns, are they capable of conferring so many Taoist scriptures in advance?"
