Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 178 Overall interests

The Nebuta Festival was forced to stop, the purple smoke dispersed, and the unconscious people woke up one after another. Taking advantage of this moment, Su Heng hugged Xia Xiaoling and left the scene.

After running all the way, several people returned to Inoue Iori's mansion. Seeing Xia Xiaoling with disheveled hair and blood stains on the corners of her mouth, the two elderly people were so frightened that they rummaged through the cabinets to find the medical kit.

"Don't panic. She's fine. You go out first and leave it to me."

After sending the others away, Su Heng began to carefully examine Xia Xiaoling's body.

Minor injury, not serious.

Su Heng drew the hemostatic charm with his sword finger. In a few breaths, the wound healed quickly, without even leaving a scar.

The magic power in Xia Xiaoling's body started to flow again, and her pale face gradually regained its vitality. According to this state, it is estimated that as long as she sleeps for a while, she will wake up full of vitality.

There's just one thing that Su Heng still doesn't understand: why her mana surged out again without overdrafting Yuan Qi after her mana was exhausted.

Where does this mana come from? Could it be that this guy has a hidden backup energy source?

There is another point that is equally concerning, that is, Xia Xiaoling's fighting state is too crazy. If Gu Yi's Heart Technique had not been fused with some of the effects of the Ice Heart Technique, she would have lost her mind.

"Is it true, as He Lingzi said, that it's all because of her extraordinary talent?"

The bond between these "employees" and him is indestructible. After all, they are blood allies, so there is no need to worry about the apprentice betraying the master.

Who knows that Xia Xiaoling only remembers being slapped away by Sandman and being held in Su Heng's arms.

Source point: 2634.8 points.

"I'm sorry, Master, I lost my temper yesterday! I almost got two junior brothers involved, so I ask Master to punish me."

It's not that serious. At best, it's just that I failed the quiz. Su Heng helped Xia Xiaoling up and casually asked about the specific details of the battle with the Sandman.

Su Heng recited the Golden Light Divine Mantra until midnight before putting on his clothes and going to sleep.

"It's okay, just get some sleep. You two go prepare the props for the ceremony. After a short rest, you will go to the five-story pagoda to hold the first ceremony tomorrow."

"As ordered."

It seems that there is only one explanation that is more reasonable.

After confirming that his apprentice was fine, Su Heng checked his own condition again. He concentrated, and the small words appeared faintly in his eyes.

Sure enough, when the apprentice eliminates the monsters, the accumulated merit will also be fed back to the master, and it will be fed back in full, without a middleman making a profit.

The next morning, Xia Xiaoling, who woke up first, knelt uneasily at the door and kowtowed to apologize when she saw her master.

……

Su Heng walked out of the room. Chen Ji and Xiang Zibo were guarding the door. When they saw the master, they quickly asked with concern:

"Senior sister, is she okay?"

As a whole, bullying individuals is equivalent to bullying the collective!

"In this Aomori Nebuta Festival, the three disciples have obtained enough merits. When Xia Xiaoling wakes up, the burial ceremony will be held together."

"No wonder Taoism has always poked a hornet's nest. Those who bully the younger ones will inevitably bring out the older ones. If you beat the older ones, even older ones will appear, endlessly."

In this way, you don’t have to do it yourself to obtain source points, and it feels like you have transformed from a worker into a small boss.

Several people are busy on their own.

I can't remember the middle part even if I rack my brains.

"If you can't remember, forget it. Let's eat."

After breakfast, everyone set off from Inoue Iori's house to the five-story pagoda. On the way, Sakurako Hirata reported on the follow-up work of the Aomori Nebuta Festival.

Since all the monsters in the entire county have been killed, the old forces dormant in the county have resurfaced.

Sakurako Hirata got in touch with a prestigious person who was a former subordinate of General Hirata. After the general's death, he went underground and became a local gang to secretly accumulate strength for counterattack.

"He is fully responsible for the finishing work of this Nebuta Festival. He has shown a strong interest in Maoshan Taoism and hopes to meet you when he is free in the future."

Su Heng had to admit that Sakurako Hirata was quite capable. No wonder he was able to conquer Saburo Okazaki and help her escape to District 9 at the cost of his life.

In such a short period of time, she used her identity and relationship with Su Heng to build bridges and win over local dignitaries.

He also used this to test his own tone. I am afraid it is not General Hirata's old subordinates who are interested in Taoism, but Hirata Sakurako himself, right?

"We'll talk about it after we've been busy for a while."

After this mission is over, Su Heng plans to further spread the branches of the Maoshan Sect. However, the matter of recruiting disciples no longer required him to do it personally.

There is no clear rejection, which shows that there is something serious about this matter. Sakurako Hirata's eyes flickered, showing significant improvement compared to the last rejection!

At 09:36, everyone arrived at the five-story pagoda of Mount Haguro and began to set up the scene.

At 10:26, the altar was set up. Most of the procedures for the conferment were simplified. There was only one conferrator, Su Heng, who presided over the ceremony.

There are no monitors or recommenders.

The mountain gods and husbands witnessed it, and five rampant soldiers and horses protected the altar. The ceremony of awarding the urn officially began!

The three Lu students saluted in turn and welcomed Su Heng into the altar.

Master Su Heng walked around, lit incense, bowed, performed rituals, and paid homage to the Jade Emperor, Sanqing, and the Ancestral Master.

Three disciples followed and worshiped.

Yang Qing shook the Sanqing bell at the right time.

Jingle bell bell~

Su Heng opened the altar and prepared to preach "The Sutra of Saving People". He held three incense sticks and recited the "Xuan Yun Mantra".

"The cloud seal script is too empty, at the beginning of the catastrophe. It drifts and drifts, sometimes sinks or floats. It wanders in five directions, more than one foot away. The innocent emperor, according to the pen, is a book...Suffering from severe illness can heal on its own, and people who are drowned in the world can be supported. Netherworld will be able to rely on you to ascend to the Immortal Capital."

To be honest, the three locals Shimada Koo, Inoue Iori, and Hirata Sakurako couldn't understand a word of the incantation Su Heng recited. So far, they only feel that this is no different from the rituals performed by witches in the shrine.

But when Su Heng finished reciting the Xuan Yun Mantra and the incense in the incense burner slowly drooped down, forming a circle of mist around the altar, the three of them suddenly realized that something beyond their imagination was happening!

Especially the couple Shimada Koo and Inoue Iori. After witnessing the supernatural phenomenon, they felt their eyes were dry for the first time and rubbed them unconsciously.

After rubbing it, I suddenly saw dozens of tall and powerful mirages standing beside the altar.

"Who are those people?" Shimada Xiaofu was stunned.

Hirata Sakurako was secretly surprised when she explained, realizing that the couple could also see Yang Qing and the mountain god.

Is it related to the mantra Su Heng recited?

At the same time, the three apprentices in the fog circle slowly opened their eyes, but what appeared in their field of vision was no longer the scenery around the five-story pagoda of Haguro Mountain.

The three of them were sitting cross-legged on the soft grass. There were rolling white clouds in the sky, and they could vaguely hear the sound of rolling waves coming from the distance.

The three of them looked ahead, and there was only an ancient tree in their field of vision.

Master Su Heng, now transformed into a different person, dressed in white, with long flowing hair, and an indescribable immortal spirit, sat leaning under the tree, waving:

"Disciples, come here and get closer."
