Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 196 Establishing a Temple

The boundary of Lizhou City.

Because of the rebellion caused by the ghost commander, countless people fell into despair at first.

In the east of the city, in a dilapidated house.

As a person at the bottom of society who relies on hard work to earn a living, Lao Yang did not start work for the first seven days, and the food at home had been exhausted.

Looking at the three children who were waiting to be fed, who had just fallen asleep after crying, and then looking at his wife who was sitting at the window looking out of the window with a numb face due to hunger, Old Yangtou felt a sadness in his heart.

Although there was a thunderstorm outside just now, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from Baofeng Mountain outside the city, Old Yangtou still did not feel that anyone could subdue the ghost commander.

Finally, after pondering for a long time, he made a decision.

Old Yangtou took a deep breath and said to his wife: "Shufen, after I hang myself, you can cut off my meat, marinate it, and eat it sparingly. This should help you and my son get through this." It’s been a long winter.”

After saying that, he turned around and went outside, found a strong rope, and wanted to hang himself from the beam.

His wife, who was still numb at first, looked over when she heard this. Unexpectedly, Old Yangtou had already rushed out to the outhouse. She hurriedly rolled and crawled outside. At that moment, she saw Old Yangtou holding a rope and pointing towards the beam. She hurriedly cried and rushed forward, hugging Lao Yangtou's calf and said: "Master, if you die, what will happen to me and the three children in the future? Don't do stupid things! Don't do stupid things. !”

Old Yangtou was usually very strict with his wife, but at this moment his eyes were full of tenderness. He reached out to touch his wife's face, and said in a soft but heavy tone: "If you don't eat anymore, you and the children will definitely starve to death. I If one person dies, it's worth it to keep the whole family alive, so just let go."

His wife cried and refused to let go, "If I die, I, a woman, will die first. Otherwise, if you die, who will raise our child for us?"

Perhaps hearing their parents' pain, all three children were awakened.

As soon as they ran outside, they saw their parents hugging each other and crying. Although they didn't know what was going on, the nature of children made them run up and hug their parents and cry.

All of a sudden, the family of five burst into tears.

Who knows, at this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted, "The evil wind has dispersed! Haha! The evil wind has dispersed!"

"what?"

"The evil wind has dissipated?"

Old Yangtou and his wife stopped crying suddenly and looked at each other, some of them not sure they could believe it was true.

The two people rushed outside to take a look, and soon they were ecstatic to find that the black energy that originally shrouded the city was really gone!

The sun is shining and it’s brilliant!

His wife was startled for a moment, and then shouted loudly and overjoyed: "Master! Our family of five doesn't have to die! We don't have to die!"

Old Yangtou was also stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "Mother, you take care of the children at home, and if you bear with me for one more day, I will go out to work and bring you food in the evening!"

After saying that, Lao Yang rushed into the house to find tools and hurriedly went to work.

Lao Yangtou carried his tools and walked out. While feeling happy in his heart, he also felt very puzzled. The ghost energy had been covering the city for seven days, why did it suddenly disappear?

Similar scenes are playing out everywhere in Lizhou City.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the city suddenly saw the dark wind and ghostly energy dissipate. After a brief period of confusion, they all burst into shocking cheers.

"It's gone!"

"The evil wind has dispersed!"

"Haha, we finally have something to live for!"

People in the city ran to the streets jumping and dancing, some even cried with joy, and kept cheering and celebrating.

But while everyone was cheering and cheering, they also had the same doubts as Old Yangtou. The ghost had been shrouding it for so many days, so why did it suddenly break up?

Suddenly, someone thought that there was a thunderstorm coming from the direction of Baofeng Mountain not long ago, and then the shouts of killing shook the sky. This group of people immediately reacted!

"Did some divine being come down to earth and subdue that ghost commander?"

"There was lightning and thunder just now, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. If it wasn't a god coming down to earth to surrender to the ghost commander, what else could it be?"

"Yes! Yes! It must be some god who came down to earth to save the hundreds of thousands of people in our Lizhou territory!"

"Which god came down to earth to save us?"

"I don't know. Let's quickly find someone to ask. Since the shouts of killing have just died out not long ago, the god must still be in Lizhou. We should find the god as soon as possible and thank him in person for saving his life."

For a time, the whole city was in motion.

Countless people are asking around, which god came down to earth to surrender the ghost commander and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers.

At first no one really asked for any useful information.

It wasn't until the government posted a notice that the people in the city knew which god had mercifully saved them all in the city.

Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhengyang Zhenren from the Ningyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain!

The most important thing is that many people heard that Mr. Chen, the compassionate god with great supernatural powers and boundless magic power, seems to be in the governor's mansion and has not yet left Lizhou City.

As a result, countless people organized themselves. Some carried vegetables and eggs, and some wealthy businessmen prepared a cart of silk and satin. They rushed to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, clamoring to meet the gods to thank them.

……

Governor's Mansion.

As soon as Chen Yun returned with Gong Wenji, he was warmly received by officials such as Yang Shili, Wang Jian, Tian Hui and Luo Yuangao.

Of course, there are also monks such as Fahai, Fazhen, and Peng Xiao.

Chen Yun first got to know the monks, but what he didn't expect was that among these monks there was the famous monk Fahai.

He couldn't help but contact Fahai more emotionally.

"Fellow Taoist Fahai, you can defeat four ghost generals with one. Your Dharma is really superb and admirable."

"You are so complimentary, Fellow Daoist Chen. If you had not come with your disciples and soldiers, I am afraid that this poor Taoist would have been robbed. Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Chen's Taoism is even more profound. Fa Hai is truly grateful to you."

"Isn't that true? When Daoist Fellow Fazhen and I and others were imprisoned in the cave by the Ghost Commander, we all despaired. Who would have thought that Fellow Daoist Chen's power was so amazing that he could kill the Ghost Commander in just a short time, which really made me feel inferior to the poor Taoist."

"Fellow Daoist Peng, don't say that you feel inferior. If we and all these people are thrown together, how can we be as good as Daoist Chen?"

A group of monks praised Chen Yun and Gong Weiji crazily. Chen Yun was a little embarrassed to be praised.

Speaking of which, this time, although he killed the ghost commander, the four ghost generals and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers in a short period of time, he actually didn't do much. He just set up a blue dragon and red blood formation, and then used magic weapons to surrender. Ghost handsome.

Although the Azure Dragon Red Blood Formation did eliminate many ghost soldiers, it relieved a lot of burdens on the disciples and generals, and it also trapped the ghosts and prevented them from escaping.

However, the greatest credit for achieving a complete victory in a short period of time this time should go to Gong Aiji and Cui Ming.

With one against five, Gongweiji not only held back the ghost commander, but also directly killed the four ghost generals in the formation. It can be said that he fully demonstrated the incomparable strength of the high-gong mage.

Cui Ming, as a ghost general at the level of a superior mage, because the ghost commander and the four ghost generals were restrained, he rushed into the ghost soldiers with his Yin soldiers, like a god of death in an uninhabited land, almost everywhere he went. No matter where he goes, no ghost soldiers can be his enemy.

As for Qin Liang, Ji Xin and the three hundred divine soldiers and generals, they were third in merit, followed by the remaining Yin soldiers.

Of course, although Chen Yun did not contribute much personally, whether it was Gong Fengji or Cui Ming, Qin Liang, Ji Xin and other generals, they were all his disciples, which could be regarded as a manifestation of his strength.

Naturally, he can be praised by monks such as Fahai, Peng Xiao and Fazhen.

After chatting with many monks for a while, Chen Yun received various flattery from a group of officials.

Especially Wang Jian, the later emperor of the former Shu Dynasty, his eyes were so hot that he almost knelt down and licked Chen Yun.

At this moment, Tian Lingzi came forward with a flattering look and said respectfully: "Mr. Chen."

Chen Yun, who was being complimented by Wang Jian, looked over, nodded and said, "Mr. Tian."

Tian Lingzi said with a smile: "I discussed it with Zhongshan Gong, Luojiezhen and others. Mr. Chen used the supreme method to save hundreds of thousands of people in Lizhou. We have specially hosted a banquet to thank you, sir. Then tomorrow or whenever you are free, Mr. Chen, I will go back to Qingcheng Mountain with you to read out the imperial edict."

At this point, he seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly explained, "There is a reward in His Majesty's imperial decree. I need to hand over the record to the Qingcheng County government first, so the imperial decree can only be read out at Qingcheng Mountain."

Chen Yun's biggest purpose of coming out this time is to obtain the qualifications to become a god, so he just surrendered to the ghost commander and did not leave here immediately, but turned around and returned to the Governor's Mansion.

Now that Tian Lingzi said this, although Chen Yun didn't know what kind of reward he wanted to hand over to the Qingcheng County government, he didn't show any impatient expression. On the contrary, he said in a very pretentious manner: "I am an idler in the mountains, and I can't be canonized." It doesn't matter if you canonize the title, but there is no need to hold a banquet. If the government has extra money, it might as well help the poor. Now that the ghost commander here has been eliminated, Chen and his disciples will return to Qingcheng Mountain to devote themselves to cultivating Taoism. Everyone, see you again if we have the chance. Bar."

After saying that, he didn't give everyone a chance to speak, and left with Gong Xingji.

Although all the officials wanted to curry favor with a god like Chen Yun, they knew that a master had a master's style and did not dare to stop him, so they had no choice but to let Chen Yun leave.

Perhaps seeing Chen Yun leaving, Fahai, Peng Xiao, Fazhen and others also said their goodbyes and left.

After the monks had dispersed, officials such as Tian Lingzi, Yang Shili, and Wang Jian sighed inwardly. They felt that Chen Yun was worthy of being a great Taoist. He had accomplished such a great feat of subduing the ghost king. Not only did he not accept their banquet, he even considered it worthy of the emperor's canonization. none.

It’s really high-spirited!

Of course, even if Chen Yun said it didn't matter, Tian Lingzi would not really stop going to Qingcheng Mountain to read out the imperial edict.

……

The gate of the Governor's Mansion.

"Let us meet Immortal Master Chen Pu!"

"Let us meet Immortal Master Chen Pu!"

All the people shouted in unison.

If they hadn't listened to their unanimous slogans, the soldiers guarding the governor's mansion would have almost thought they were rebelling.

In desperation, the soldiers had no choice but to tell Wang Jian and others about what happened outside.

Finally, Wang Jian personally came forward to appease the people and informed them of the news.

"what?"

"Master Chen Xian is gone?"

"The Immortal Master is so honest that he surrendered the ghost king and returned to the mountain without seeking fame or fortune at all."

The common people were all filled with emotion, but they still looked disappointed and stood at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, refusing to leave.

Wang Jianjian was strong, and he thought about it and said deliberately: "If everyone is really grateful to Master Chen, it is better to build a temple for him."

"Correct!"

"Build a temple for Master Chen!"

"Why are you all still staying here? Hurry up and find someone to raise money to build a temple for Master Chen Xian!"

The crowd dispersed in a hurry.

Yes, without the nod of the imperial court, no temple can be built for any saint.

In fact, it is useless just to have the court nod, but also to have the gods in the sky agree.

It stands to reason that Chen Yun has not attained enlightenment and has become an immortal, and he does not have heaven's approval, so he is not worthy of building a temple.

But in ancient times, it was important for the people not to raise officials and not to investigate. If a temple was established and the local government did not investigate, basically nothing would happen.

Especially now that the imperial court's control over the local area is almost extremely weak, as long as Wang Jian, the local governor, does not speak, no one can demolish the temple that was erected.

It can be said that since Wang Jian said that the people should build a temple for Chen Yun, then this is a sure thing!

Perhaps with Wang Jian's support, a group of wealthy businessmen in the city moved quickly. They immediately found a good location in the city, and then found someone to start building a temple.

Chen Yun never thought that when he came out to surrender the Ghost King, he would actually have his own temple.
