Chapter 253: The Temple Gift! The Power of the Great Temple Priest!
After paying homage to Liu Zun, everyone did not leave immediately, but toured the temple.

In front of us is the temple's workshop, which is run by the third temple priest and has more than 200 incense burners under his command. They are responsible for making willow branch night lamps, modifying various weapons, or modifying special objects, such as mirrors, etc.

The fourth temple keeper has three hundred people under his command and is responsible for making incense, candles, talismans, etc.

The fifth temple keeper was, relatively speaking, a sinecure. The people under him were responsible for meals and the purchase of various materials.

Behind the Liuzun Temple, there are more than a thousand willow trees, and all the plants in the garden are under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Temple Priest.

"Originally, we should have asked Lao Ba to come and see Wu Ye today, but these are troubled times and there are many things to do, so he went to take inventory of the warehouse."

The temple priest said with a smile.

Lin Yan knew that the eighth temple keeper of Liuzun Temple usually served as a warehouse guard, but in Gaoliu City, all matters such as repairs, groundbreaking, construction, feng shui, and surveying of the eight directions had to go through the hands of this eighth temple keeper.

Now that he is the inspector of the new city's expansion, he will have to deal with Mr. Liu sooner or later.

"We have basically visited all the places in the temple that outsiders like us can see. It's almost getting dark, so it's time to leave." Mr. Lu laughed and said this.

"It's not good to return empty-handed after coming to the temple. I prepared some gifts for you. Lao Jiu delivered them quickly."

The chief temple keeper chuckled and said, "You are all extraordinary people. Although there are many things in the temple, there are not many things you can use... So, these are just some small items, as a token of my appreciation."

The ninth temple priest and the incense burners under him are responsible for all kinds of clerical records in the temple, and are responsible for teaching all kinds of spells in the temple.

The other three temple priests, as well as the incense burners under their command, are responsible for clearing out evil spirits and other types of incidents in the city, including investigating various strange things.

On ordinary days, they are responsible for warding off disasters and misfortunes, curing diseases and exorcising evil spirits, interpreting divination sticks and fortune telling, etc.

Not long after, the ninth temple priest came hurriedly.

Lin Yan and Lu Tang were given three kinds of talismans, with thirty-six talismans each.

There are twelve pieces of the Divine Wind Talisman, which can draw strong winds to stop the enemy, or draw winds to benefit oneself, especially when escaping, to run faster.

There are twelve of them, called Qi-strengthening Talismans. As the name suggests, they can strengthen the power of true Qi and can have miraculous effects when used against the enemy.

There are twelve of them, called Calming Spirit Talismans, which can stabilize one’s soul.

In the past, some humans in the Qi Refining Realm were proud of their abilities, but due to bad luck, they encountered powerful demons comparable to those in the Spirit Refining Realm on a strange night.

Under the overwhelming force of the ferocious beast, his soul was in turmoil and he didn't even have the thought of escaping.

"With these thirty-six talismans, even if you encounter a powerful evil spirit in the night, you can basically escape with your life."

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "I thought before that the gift was small but the sentiment was great. This gift from the Grand Temple Priest is not small... The talismans are also divided into grades. These thirty-six talismans are all top-grade and quite precious!"

"Mr. Lu, you are too kind."

The chief temple keeper took a wooden box and gave it to Lin Lei, saying, "Inside is my experience as a temple keeper. I have practiced temple magic for so many years, as well as various experiences as a temple keeper... Since you have become Mr. Lu's disciple, these things are actually dispensable, but I don't have anything too precious to give you."

Then the chief temple priest took out a wooden sign and said, "This is the only thing left by our master. If you use blood to activate it, it can transform into a sacred tree and block the enemy!"

“Below the Qi Refining Realm, even if one is at the Jing Refining Realm, it cannot be broken by ordinary weapons unless one is using a divine weapon.”

“As for the Qi Refining Realm, unless the opponent mobilizes more than a thousand true qi in one breath and attacks with all his strength, he will be able to resist!”

The temple keeper smiled and said, "I hope this protective item is useful to you, and I also hope you never have to use it."

Lin Lei bowed and shook his head, saying, "Such a precious thing cannot be accepted without merit. I dare not accept it."

"This thing is useful to you, take it, it's okay."

Master Lu stroked his beard and said, "From now on, I will study hard and make achievements, which will be my way of repaying him."

Upon hearing this, the chief temple keeper couldn't help but laugh, and then he sighed, "It's a pity that Lord Lu didn't want to. Otherwise, with your spiritual energy and character, you would be able to enter the Liuzun Temple and be listed as one of the twelve temple keeper in the future. In the next generation, the position of chief temple keeper should also be yours."

Lin Lei whispered: "Grand Temple Master, you are too kind."

The chief temple keeper sighed and said, "You are a rough jade. You were born in Gaoliu City and have been covered in dust for more than 20 years. I am old and my eyesight is dim, but it was Lord Lu who had a sharp eye and polished you out."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking extremely proud, and glanced at Lin Yan again.

It's more than just a piece of unpolished jade.
These two brothers were the most unexpected surprises for him since returning to Gaoliu City!

"Don't worry about my disciple."

Master Lu said with a smile: "This is my last disciple. When I die in the future, he will inherit my blessing of the Spirit Refining Realm!"

"Of course I will follow Mr. Lu, there are greater prospects."

The chief temple priest bowed to Mr. Lu and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, for achieving your primordial spirit and still having such human nature!"

It is human nature to feel proud of the excellence of the younger generation. It is human nature!
Mr. Lu spoke in a normal tone, and slowly said: "The way of cultivation should be to cultivate the true self!"

"If, at the end of the day, I cultivate myself to be no different from my current 'self'."

"Then this path of cultivation is equivalent to gradually killing the original true self and becoming another so-called 'god'!"

At this point, Mr. Lu couldn't help but look gloomy, and said: "Unfortunately, in such a world, no matter who you are, you will face the risk of 'losing control'. It is really not easy to maintain your true self!"

Lin Yan and others were all thoughtful.

-

Leaving Liuzun Temple.

Mr. Lu, Lu Tang, and Lin Lei were preparing to take a carriage back to Linjiangfang.

Lin Yan got off the carriage and prepared to go to the Tianjian Division.

"Tonight at 11:00 p.m., I will go to see the head of the Sixth Vein. At the end of 11:00 p.m., the chief temple keeper will call upon the power of Lord Liu to mitigate any disturbances in the eight directions."

Lord Lu said, "At the beginning of the hour of Hai, go meet the Thirteenth Young Master."

Lin Yan nodded slightly, and then pondered: "I have just completed the Spirit Refining Realm, and I am extremely weak. I have helped me once, fought with the Six Veins Leader once, and now I have offered incense to Master Liu... It is a long way to go back and forth to the inner city. If I go back tonight without rest, and fight with the opponent again, can I hold on?"

"Then you underestimate the Spirit Refining Realm."

Lord Lu laughed and said, "I have almost recovered. I am three points stronger than I was this morning! Besides, I am not going to fight tonight."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "There is a problem with the top leaders of the Holy Land. What if there is also a problem on the other side?"

"Actually, there is one thing you all don't seem to realize."

Lord Lu smiled slightly and said, "As for the Holy Land, we can appoint the next Grand City Guardian and Commander, but we dare not appoint the next Grand Temple Priest!"

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "Because the temple priests of Liuzun Temple are all on a dead end?"

"No, because the Grand Temple Priest can call upon the power of Liu Zun."

Lord Lu said slowly, "The reason why we asked the Grand Temple Priest to assist is to intimidate the other party! This morning, the Six Veins Chief did not dare to take action. First, he was afraid of me, who is in the Spirit Refining Realm, and second, he was afraid of the Grand Temple Priest!"

"I brought you to Liuzun Temple today to tell you that if you face difficulties in the future, you can ask the temple priest for help!"

At this point, Lord Lu couldn't help but sigh, and said: "However, every time you use Liu Zun's power, it will speed up the 'corruption' of Liu Zun's roots and accelerate the temple keeper's loss of control, so every time you take action, you are reducing their lifespan! If it is not necessary, you cannot ask Liu Zun Temple for help, you must be cautious!" And tonight, asking the chief temple keeper to take action, borrowing Liu Zun's power, and pressure the head of the Sixth Vein, so that Lin Yan can secretly meet the Thirteenth Young Master, is obviously a matter of careful consideration by Lord Lu.

It was also enough to let Lin Yan know that what happened tonight was extremely important.

"clear."

Lin Yan nodded and said, "You guys go ahead. After I go to the Heavenly Supervisory Department, I will leave the inner city and return to Linjiangfang."

I watched the carriage moving forward along the streets of the inner city.

Lin Yan also went towards the Tianjiansi.

This time he came in a carriage, not riding a dragon-scale horse.

But the Heavenly Supervisor already knew that when he followed Lord Lu into the Liuzun Temple, someone was already waiting in front to meet them.

"Fifth Master!"

Just then, a man came out from the alley nearby and bowed quickly.

"you……"

Lin Yan was stunned.

Because he didn't know this person.

In fact, Jiantiansi has quite a few people under his command, so it is not surprising that he does not know them.

But the problem is, this person actually has the cultivation level of the upper Qi Refining Realm!

Meeting up halfway is just a small matter, so it is normal to send a small flag over.

But the man in front of him seemed to have a stronger aura than Yuan Tongye, the commander-in-chief of the Zuocheng Guards!
He is about fifty years old, in the prime of life, with strong energy and blood!

Just now, there was such a Qi Refining Realm master, squatting at the side of the alley, leading two horses, waiting quietly, appearing extremely respectful.

"I am Gao Kui, the deputy commander of Gaoliu City's Tianshi."

Deputy Commander Gao smiled slightly and said this.

"..."

Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Bring a horse and take me back to the Heavenly Guards. Why are you bothering the deputy commander?"

"It is a blessing to be able to hold the stirrups for Master Wu."

Deputy Commander Gao laughed and said so.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

Lin Yan said calmly.

Deputy Commander Gao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Today there is a new deputy commander who was born in the Holy Land. Is he... the next commander?"

"He is just qualified to succeed the commander, but it may not be him."

Lin Yan spoke calmly, "According to the rules of the Heavenly Guardian, it all depends on your ability!"

After his voice fell, he looked at the deputy commander and said, "I will not interfere with the appointment of the new commander! You can all show your talents, but if you fight for power and use any means to bring disaster to Gaoliu City, the people, and harm your colleagues..."

"Gao would never dare to break the law knowingly!"

The senior deputy commander spoke quickly.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone knows that the current commander-in-chief holds Wuchang in high regard.

Wuchang also has a close relationship with Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan.

And the new deputy commander came from the Holy Land.

It was just him, with no one behind him.

I came here today to get some information and to curry favor with this Inspector Wuchang!
Although he was only an inspector, his military achievements were outstanding and amazing.

Especially yesterday's battle, we protected Lord Lu and killed all the invading enemies from all directions!
Mr. Lu has now reached the realm of spiritual refinement!
The future is unpredictable and limitless!

Moreover, Wuchang hates evil, is fair in his dealings, and dares to draw his sword... Although he seldom returns to the main building of the Tianjiansi, he has a very high reputation among the Tianjiansi in the entire Gaoliu City and is truly loved by the people!
If you can get Wuchang's help, it will be a powerful arm when you compete for the position of commander in the future!
"Fifth Master..." Deputy Commander Gao spoke hesitantly and reached into his arms, as if he wanted to take something out.

"Since you know my name, you naturally know my style of doing things. Don't break the law knowingly."

Lin Yan said this and looked at the other person deeply.

I finally understood why the commander-in-chief had decided from the very beginning that Zhou Yuan could succeed him as the next commander-in-chief.

Gao Kui, as another deputy commander, was never mentioned.

Judging from today's situation, although this person's cultivation is not bad, he is not suitable to be the highest leader of the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau!
Lin Yan was thinking this when he suddenly heard the deputy commander speak in a low voice.

"After the death of the Liu family's ancestor, Gao will be fully responsible for cleaning up the Liu family."

"Originally, the Qifeng City was extremely severe in dealing with the case of embezzlement of city expansion materials, and a large number of people were implicated... Now it seems that they have to make room for the people from the Holy Land."

"But the city guard and the commander did not approve of this at the time, and they gave a lenient sentence to the remnants of the Liu family."

"Now the outside world is saying that the reason why the remnants of the Liu family have not been massacred is because the Fifth Master is kind-hearted and does not want to implicate others."

"The Liu family has people from all walks of life, which will be helpful for the construction of the new city..."

The senior deputy commander whispered, "At present, the top leaders of the Liu family are either dead or have fled... Only a few people are left. They want to see the Fifth Master and ask for the qualification to build a new city as a member of the Liu family."

"Ok?"

Lin Yan looked at him deeply.

Deputy Commander Gao said quickly: "The Grand City Guard of the City Guard House has tacitly agreed to this matter. The Commander asked the Fifth Master to make the decision."

Hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but ponder and said, "A few remnants of the Liu family have alarmed the city guard and the commander?"

"It involves the laws of the Holy Land and a secret matter. The remnants of the Liu family intend to use this to ask for protection from the Fifth Master."

Deputy Commander Gao said: "Whether to take them in or not, please let Fifth Master decide!"

Lin Yan frowned and asked, "Where is the person?"

Deputy Commander Gao said, "In the dungeon of the Tianjian Division, if the Fifth Master wants to see them, he can bring them out immediately and interrogate them in the main building."

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "Immediately transfer the people to the main building and invite the commander-in-chief. The three of us will interrogate him together."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Gao couldn't help but show his joy.
