A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 279 Laoshan Taoist Priest

"Fellow Taoist is burning poisonous weeds indiscriminately like this. The poisonous smoke is filling the air and all humans and animals within a few miles of Mount Laoshan will be harmed. This is really inappropriate. It is only because of this poor Taoist that we have the courage to stop it. Please don't blame us, Taoist friends."

A clear voice floated down from the mountain, like a stream of clear water, calming the tension in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the smoke covering the White Cloud Temple seemed to be driven by some invisible force. It separated to the left and right, revealing a figure that looked like a banished immortal from the world.

This figure was dressed in a Taoist robe as white as snow, and walked slowly down the mountain road with light steps. Every step seemed to be accompanied by a certain rhythm, giving people an otherworldly and otherworldly feeling.

Although his face was hidden in the hazy light, judging from the calm and calm aura emanating from him, it was obvious that he was a Taoist priest from Mount Laoshan with advanced cultivation.

Judging from appearance alone, compared with this Taoist priest, Li Gui looks like a bandit. He has no taste of an outsider. He has an uncarved and rough atmosphere, and his words and deeds are full of worldly fireworks. gas.

Li Gui squinted his eyes at the Taoist priest, but he didn't like it.

"Thief!"

"Since you know this is a poisonous weed, but you allow this traitor to poison others, it is obviously not a good thing."

"Let's all die together!"

Li Gui cursed, waved his hand, and cut the Taoist priest into seventeen or eighteen pieces.

But in the next moment, the Taoist priest's body turned into a green-skinned gourd, and another similar Taoist priest walked out of the smoke, smiled and continued:

"Why do fellow Taoists have such a big temper?"

"We are all cultivators. We want to live forever and ascend to immortality. We should not interfere too much in these mundane matters, otherwise it will most likely harm our practice."

"Ah! He's a master!" Li Gui exclaimed, and his attention immediately became much more focused.

He looked at the Taoist priest carefully, trying to find the flaw in this substitute technique, but he only shouted:

"Who is your Taoist friend?"

"A certain person is under the command of the True King of Exorcists, and he is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui!"

"You are not a practicing person!"

"What I, the True Lord Sect, want to do is to unify the world, rebuild this mortal dynasty, and destroy all the indifferent gods and monks like you, so that the way of humanity can prevail over the way of heaven, and that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded in this world. Retribution!"

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, but then continued to smile, obviously disapproving of it.

"My Taoist friends have great ambitions, which is admirable. However, the rise and fall of dynasties in this world has its own destiny, which cannot be changed by human power."

"As for annihilating the dharma of Taoism and Buddha, it is also going against the gods and Buddhas in the sky. It is difficult to have a good ending, let alone success."

"I advise fellow Taoists to do their best to understand the destiny of heaven and follow the destiny, which is the right way."

Li Gui's heart was as solid as stone, and he could not be swayed by his few words. Since his words were not speculative, he simply stopped talking and walked straight towards the Taiqing Palace on the mountain.

"If you can run away, a monk can't run away from the temple; if you can run away, a Taoist priest can't run away from the temple."

"When someone demolishes your home, let's see if you can use this gourd to deceive you."

The Taoist priest was really anxious. The reason why he came down in incarnation was to prevent Li Gui from going up and destroying the Taiqing Palace.

This Laoshan Mountain is in Laizhou. It is very clear about the development of Zhenjun Sect in Liangshan, and Li Gui's famous name has been registered with him for a long time.

Today, I found out that Li Gui had gone up the mountain to burn Baiyun Temple, so he knew that the disaster was coming. He hurriedly came down, hoping to convince Li Gui with his profound Taoism and avoid the disaster in Taiqing Palace.

But who would have thought that Li Gui would not accept his trick and went straight to the root of the matter and came to the Taiqing Palace.

The Taoist priest quickly stood in front of Li Gui and said provocatively:

"Fellow Taoist, do you dare to have a fight with a poor Taoist? If you, Taoist, win, you will be at your disposal on Mount Laoshan."

"If Taoist friends are defeated, Laoshan will still respect Liangshan as its master, but the Taoist tradition on this mountain cannot be destroyed."

Li Gui squeezed him to death, threw the gourd away, and coldly snorted:

"What cats and dogs are worthy of negotiating terms with a certain family?"

"This will destroy the Taoist tradition of Laoshan. If you are not convinced, you can come and stop me!"

The shadow of the Taoist priest came down from the mountain again and shouted angrily:

"I have been discussing this with you. I asked myself that I have done my best to be kind and righteous, but you are not showing mercy at all. Do you really think that I am afraid of you?"

Li Gui sneered when he heard this:

"Haha, if you have the guts, stand in front of a certain family and say these words again!"

The Taoist priest choked, became angry and flicked his sleeves, and dozens of yellow scarf warriors jumped down from mid-air, reaching out to grab Li Gui.

Li Gui had long since ignored this kind of thing. He didn't even need to kill him. He just rushed forward. When the yellow scarf warrior hit him, it was as if he was bombarded by a heavy cannon. He was immediately shattered into pieces and transformed into a new form. The yellow paper talisman fell and disappeared in an instant.

Li Gui did not stop because of this, and went straight to the Taiqing Palace. He repeated his old trick. He raised his hand and dozens of blazing fire dragons roared out and rushed towards everywhere in the Taiqing Palace. Their power was extremely frightening.

"How dare you show off your trivial skills here!"

The Taoist priest sneered when he saw this, took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, and ignited it with a shake of his hand. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered and it began to rain again. In an instant, dark clouds gathered over Taiqing Palace, and heavy rain fell. Down, every fire dragon set by Li Gui was extinguished.

When Li Gui saw the dark clouds gathering above his head, he used his wind blade to blast away, blowing a big hole out of the dark clouds. The strong wind instantly blew away the rain clouds, making the entire sky clear again.

Li Gui set fire again, the Taoist priest started raining again, and Li Gui drove away the rain clouds again. The two sides went back and forth and started a fierce duel. The confrontation of magic became more and more intense, and gradually a deadlock was formed.

Li Gui couldn't burn Taiqing Palace, and the Taoist priest couldn't do anything to Li Gui either.

"Humph, how can you, a country barbarian, know that my Taoism is magical?"

"But the poor Taoist is here, and you will not be allowed to be unscrupulous!"

The Taoist priest seemed confident and began to speak cruelly to Li Gui.

Li Gui was furious, put the eight-foot magatama in his arms, took out the eight-foot mirror, and looked at himself. With the power of the incense, clones suddenly appeared around him.

These clones were lifelike, and each one was as menacing as the original figure. In an instant, there were hundreds of figures surrounding him, forming a terrifying power.

"Straight bitch!"

"Are you the only one who knows how to use a clone?"

"A certain family doesn't just know how to set fire!"

"Look at how this barbarian from a certain family used brute force to demolish your Taoist temple today!"

Li Gui waved his arms with a murderous look on his face. As his gesture fell, the hundreds of clones burst into deafening shouts at the same time, sweeping towards the Taiqing Palace like a violent storm.

Wherever they went, they saw people killing people and smashing things, and they started acts of destruction without restraint.

The strength of these clones is not high, just the level of ordinary Liangshan heroes, but it is more than enough to carry out forced demolitions.

Whether it was the gate tower, the palace, the stone steps, or the incense burner, everything became the object of their destruction, and the sounds of smashing and smashing continued one after another.

If any Taoist priests dared to stop him, they would be merciless, and the entire Taoist temple would fall into chaos and destruction in an instant.

Killings and setting fires are indiscriminate, and these clones not only smashed and killed, but also set fires.

"How brave!"

"How dare you do this?"

The Taoist priest suddenly lost his original calm demeanor and summoned a large number of yellow scarf warriors to stop him. At the same time, he prepared rain to put out the fire, but this time it was Li Gui's turn to stop him.

As soon as the yellow scarf warrior came out, he was ignited by the fire dragon. As soon as the dark clouds gathered, they were blown away by the wind blade.

Li Gui couldn't do anything to the Taoist priest before, and now the Taoist priest can't do anything to Li Gui either.

However, Li Gui had an additional artifact, the Yata Mirror, and the large number of clones he created were a new force, breaking the original balance and tilting the outcome in the direction of Li Gui's victory.

"Thief!"

"A certain family doesn't know where your true body is, but you definitely can't escape the scope of this Taoist temple."

"As long as the clones sift through it row by row and chop up everything they see, they will definitely not be able to escape you!"

After hearing this, the Taoist priest's face suddenly changed and his expression became ugly.

Seeing that the fire in Taiqing Palace was getting bigger and bigger, and the screams inside were getting louder and louder, the Taoist priest knew that Taiqing Palace was definitely doomed this time, and he had the intention to leave.

His expression changed several times. Finally, he suppressed the anger and pain in his heart, sighed, turned around and walked down the mountain, and said harshly:

"You have now ruined the foundation of our Laoshan Taoist tradition. This account has been recorded by Pindao!"

"The hatred of those who block the way is irreconcilable. The poor way will definitely fight you to the death!"

"Just wait. After I search for my friends and gather our strength, we will attack you together and let you know what retribution is in this world!"

Li Gui didn't make any response to this. He watched him go down the mountain without stopping him. He just stood there quietly, like a beast waiting for an opportunity. He raised his ears vigilantly to catch every slightest movement around him. Pay close attention to every subtle sound nearby.

After a moment, he seemed to notice something. He suddenly jumped into the air like an arrow and rushed towards a place in the Taiqing Palace. At the same time, he burst into arrogant laughter. His ferocious eyes were full of threats to the Taoist priests. Dismissive:

“You don’t have to wait until later!”

"Now a certain family will let you know what the present world retribution is!"

He punched the empty place hard, and with a "poof" sound, a streak of blood shot up into the sky, drenching him all over.

The air shook like ripples, and a figure appeared on the spot. His chest was punched by Li Gui. It penetrated the front and penetrated the back. Blood spurted out from the hole.

It was the Taoist priest who just came down the mountain.

His invisibility technique is very impressive, but ultimately it is just an illusion that makes people invisible, rather than a phase-walking technique that transfers to another dimension.

If he stayed still, Li Gui wouldn't be able to detect him, but he didn't know that Li Gui's facial features were super sensitive. As long as he wanted to listen, he could hear the movement within a few miles nearby. The closer he was, the clearer he would naturally be.

The courtyard of Taiqing Palace was only so big, and it was impossible to escape Li Gui's monitoring range. When he walked out cautiously, his whereabouts were exposed.

The invisibility technique was broken, and the Taoist priest's eyes were full of shock and unwillingness. He grabbed Li Gui's arm tightly with both hands, and opened his mouth to ask what happened, but when he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of blood gushed out, and he couldn't say anything. I can't speak.

In the end, the Taoist priest could only hang his head feebly with endless doubts and regrets, his body slowly fell down, and he died without closing his eyes. Li Gui touched the corpse on his body, but found nothing. It was a pity that this Taoist priest, who was obviously an expert, had no magic weapon.

"Ri Xie Niang!"

"Could it be that this is also a gourd?"

Li Gui was very impressed by the plot of Luo Zhenren playing with Li Kui, so he always lacked confidence in things he didn't understand.

He smashed the corpse several times and set it on fire. Only when he saw with his own eyes that the corpse had not turned back into a gourd or talisman was he convinced that the Taoist priest was really dead.

It seems that this so-called Taoist master is just a mysterious Taoist, but when it comes to physical fitness, he is really vulnerable!

This information harvest immediately reduced Li Gui's fear of Taoist masters like Zhenren Luo, and he became more confident about the Taoism that would conquer the world.

However, for spells such as invisibility, you have to find a way to deal with them. Otherwise, a warrior will be at a disadvantage if he fights with the Master!

Especially small non-evocation spells like invisibility are really difficult to deal with.

You may not, but you must be able to crack it!

Li Gui kept this incident in mind, and when he saw that no other Taoist priests jumped out to stop him, he put out the fire.

Most of these Taoist priests must be just living for a living, and they may be priests of the Zhenjun Sect in the future. What a pity it would be to kill them!

His original intention was not to burn down these Taoist temples and kill all the Taoist priests, but to find useful magic weapons in the Taoist temples.

It was just that when he burned the poisonous weeds in Baiyun Temple, the Taoist priest jumped out to fight, which angered Li Gui, and that led to many things that happened later.

If the Taoist priest was really quiet and did nothing, hiding nearby and pretending to be a dead dog, Li Gui might not be able to detect his existence at all, and naturally there would be no need to worry about his life.

It can only be said that this Taoist priest is destined to suffer such a calamity if his cultivation is not good enough.

Anyway, it was his destiny to open his mouth and act in accordance with nature, so of course his death is also destined now, and Li Gui can't be blamed.

After extinguishing the flame, Li Gui smashed the Sanqing statue, collected the incense, and then touched every place where the magic weapon might be, but found nothing.

He also visited all the surrounding Nine Palaces, Eight Views, and Seventy-Two Nunneries. Taking a lesson from the Taiqing Palace, no one dared to stop him and allowed him to rummage around, but he still found nothing.

This huge Laoshan Mountain does not have a magic weapon, which is really disappointing!

However, this also shows that this magic weapon is still quite rare and cannot be found anywhere.

There was no other way, so Li Gui had no choice but to smash all the statues and take away all his luck, so as not to make his trip in vain.

After descending the mountain, Li Gui thought about going to Maoshan again, but the "Exorcist True Lord" in his body suddenly sent a message, which was sent from Liangshan Dazhai. The content was very simple, just two words, "Quickly." Return".

Li Gui didn't know what happened, so he gave up the idea of ​​going to Maoshan for a while and went straight back to Liangshan on Hot Wheels.

He first went to Jin Dajian and handed him the Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda snatched from Shaolin Temple.

"Brother, this is the magic weapon I snatched back from the Shaolin Temple. Please help me re-modify the appearance of this tower and make it look like that of my True Lord Sect."

"You can discuss the specific style with Li Qingling and Li Zhizhi before deciding."

The silver from Dongying Yinshan has been shipped back once. With this batch of silver as a reserve, Liangshan began to issue its own currency. After it is promoted in the future, the economic operation speed under the rule will definitely increase significantly.

Jin Dajian and Xiao Rang were responsible for this important task. The two heroes gave full play to their strengths and were responsible for engraving and anti-counterfeiting work respectively.

Jin Dajian ensured the exquisite production of the new currency with his superb engraving skills, while Xiao Rang used his ingenuity in forging letters to design a complete anti-counterfeiting system to ensure the safety and authority of the currency.

Now, the preliminary preparations for the currency have been completed, and what remains is to supervise the issuance and circulation links to ensure that the new currency can be successfully implemented in the areas under Liangshan's rule and effectively improve the economic efficiency and vitality of the region.

These matters are the scope of authority and responsibilities of Pei Xuan, the iron-faced man. Jin Dajian and the two only need to be responsible for the daily maintenance of equipment and do not need to be too busy.

Seeing the Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda brought by Li Gui, Jin Dajian took it and played with it carefully, and said with regret:

"Brother, this kind of treasure is a first-class magic weapon. I can carve the appearance, but I can't change the core."

"Just changing the shell is of no use!"

Li Gui then said with a smile:

“You don’t need to change the core, just change the appearance.”

"Anyway, a certain family is just using it to fool believers. There is no need to actually use the various Buddhist functions of this magic weapon."

"This thing can turn into something like a huge temple. The style inside is similar to the carvings outside."

"I'm thinking that you only need to change the carvings on the outside to look like those of my True Lord Sect, and then when activated, the inside will also change accordingly."

"A certain family doesn't really need to urge it to do anything, as long as it can carry the souls of those dead believers."

Li Gui had thought about it. When necessary, he would choose some useful believers and use incense to turn their souls into blue. After they died, he would put their souls in for temporary storage.

After these people are resurrected, they will tell others what they saw inside the temple.

They are dead and resurrected, and others cannot but believe what they say.

At this point, the legend that the followers of the Zhenjun Sect went to the Kingdom of God after death has become solid!

As for whether those souls actually dissipated, returned to the underworld, or were picked up by wild dogs on the roadside, he actually didn't care.

From the differences in luck, Li Gui already knew that if ordinary people died without the power of incense to protect them, their souls would not be able to retain memories at all. There was no need for Meng Po Tang, and soon the memories of the previous life would be completely lost. Dissipated.

After Jin Dajian listened to Li Gui's explanation, he understood immediately and immediately accepted the task with patting his chest.

"Brother, don't worry!"

"If you just change the shape of the outside of the tower and carve it again, this is what I am good at, there is absolutely no problem!"

"Brother, please put this tower here with me. After I finish it, I will take it to my brother."

Li Gui kept the Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda. In order to prevent accidents, he even took down all the relics on the tower.

Without the Buddhist blessing of the relic, although this treasure is still shining brightly, the thin layer of warm white light shrouding the outside has disappeared.

Li Gui then left Jin Dajian's place with peace of mind and went to Qianshan Juyi Hall.

This place has long been converted into an office space, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going.

Seeing Li Gui come in, Zhu Wu, who was working here, immediately stood up and came over.

"Brother, it's a disaster!"

"The plague is coming!"

"Plague?" Li Gui was stunned, "Aren't all the corpses of those who died in the battle burned and buried? How could there be a plague?"

Zhu Wu sighed and said:

"Isn't it the evil done by those White Lotus Sect bandits?"

"Those thieves really care about killing but not burying them!"

"Those White Lotus cult bandits hate me deeply, Liangshan. This turmoil came with the idea of ​​dying together."

"Now that we have calmed down the religious bandits, we have learned that wherever the religious bandits went, not only were houses burned and farmland destroyed, but even the well water was destroyed by livestock carcasses!"

"Now in Mizhou, the villages are deserted, the cities are dilapidated, and there is deathly silence everywhere. It is easy to say that people are dying of hunger all over the place, but it is common for them to exchange children for food."

"The plague has spread there and is difficult to contain."

"When our army was transporting food across the border to go to the relief area, we accidentally brought the plague back. Fortunately, it was discovered early and has been isolated."

The more Zhu Wu talked, the angrier he became. He slapped his hands on the table and cursed:

"My brother destroyed Taoism and destroyed Buddha before. I still felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. Now that I have seen the brutal behavior of these fanatical believers, I realize that these bald donkeys have sold their lives to the Buddha a long time ago and no longer regard themselves as human beings!"

"Now I can't wait to kill all these bald donkeys to prevent them from causing chaos in our territory of Liangshan in the future."

The butt determines the head. If he hadn't been sitting in the position of the great steward of Liangshan, Zhu Wu would never have said such cruel words.

But now that he has been in charge of government affairs for many years, his perspective on things has long been different from before. He deeply hates these factors that undermine domestic stability and wishes to eradicate them completely.

Of course, Li Gui fully supported this attitude. He immediately clapped his hands and praised:

"Brother finally understands!"

"Those pan-believers don't matter. It's easy to convert them later. The most abominable thing is these fanatic believers. For the faith in their hearts, they are willing to do anything, even if it is the most inhumane thing, they can't even look at it. Don’t even blink!”

"We in Liangshan burned their temples and let those who are not engaged in production work on the land. It is a great merit!"

Zhu Wu nodded, becoming more and more determined about the path Liangshan was taking, and continued to introduce Li Gui:

"There is a problem not only in Mizhou but also in Qizhou."

"The Liao people invaded and looted many villages in the two prefectures, causing many families to die and become refugees."

"Then the local dog officer refuses to give money to help the refugees, but he actually drives them towards us. It is clear that he wants to increase the burden on me, Liangshan!"

"I, Liangshan, work for Heaven, but I can't ignore it, and end up falling into their trap!"

"Among the refugees who came from Qizhou, some were seriously ill. They didn't know it was the plague at the time. When it was later discovered, thousands of people had been infected."

"Now in Qizhou and Yizhou, patients infected with the plague have been quarantined by me."

"In other states and counties, there may be scattered refugees who have fled with the disease, but the number is limited. All localities have been notified to pay strict attention to it. It will not cause too big a problem."

"Only in Mizhou, the plague has completely spread. I don't know how many people have been infected. I don't know how to deal with it, so I called my brother back."

Now neither of them knew that Zhang Tianshi was obstructing this, and they only thought it was a normal incident. However, they did not know that under the influence of Taoism, any small probability would be magnified ten times or a hundred times, and eventually become inevitable.
