Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 57: Strange Visions in Wen Palace
Lu Zheng asked Ma Gui to close the gambling house with just a few words, but Ma Gui did not dare to complain.

On the contrary, Ma Gui felt that Lu Zheng was more upright than other scholars he had met, and it was no wonder that he could become a scholar of heaven and earth.

Lu Zheng looked at Ma Gui and asked, "Is there really a master on Hongfeng Mountain?"

"This..." Ma Gui whispered, "I really don't know, but I heard that the greedy brat was indeed bought from there."

Although Ma Gui is a warrior, he doesn't want to deal with such evil people.

So this greedy little devil did ask someone to buy it back, and he didn't go there himself.

Ma Gui told what he knew.

There are masters hidden on Hongfeng Mountain, but not everyone can see them.

If you meet that master, you can ask him to do things for you, such as cure diseases, save lives, ask for wealth and luck... As long as it is not too difficult and you are willing to pay enough, the other party can help you do it.

After listening to the general idea, Lu Zheng guessed that the so-called master was just a cultivator of the second level who knew some extraordinary methods and was not that powerful.

Lu Zheng asked again, "Which family in Zizhu Town has a ghost?"

Ma Gui shook his head and said, "I don't know."

If he knew, he would have told it long ago so that he could redeem himself with meritorious service.

Suddenly, Ma Gui thought of something and said, "I heard that the daughter of the Wang family in town was frightened silly by a ghost. I don't know if it's true or not..."

Although they were from the same town, Ma Gui didn't have much contact with the Wang family. He only heard about this matter by chance and didn't take it seriously.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I went to Wang's house last night."

Ma Gui showed curiosity when he heard this, "Is the Wang family really haunted by ghosts?"

Lu Zheng said calmly, "There are indeed a few demons causing trouble, but the most powerful one is only a second-level demon. I guess their bodies have turned to ashes by now."

Such a nonchalant tone shocked Ma Gui.

A second-level little demon... If he encountered it, he would probably have no choice but to run for his life.

At this moment, Arima Takashi's servant came over and said that the coffin and other burial items were ready and were waiting at the back door.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng went to the cellar and picked up the heavy pottery jar himself.

Ma Gui followed closely behind, and the two left the gambling house.

At the back door, several strong men under Ma Gui were carrying a mahogany coffin, and some were carrying incense, candles and paper money.

They all went to a cemetery outside the town, selected a good piece of land, dug a hole, and placed the coffin.

Lu Zheng reached into the clay pot and quickly pulled out the body of a small, shriveled baby.

The greedy little devil was among the mummies and didn't dare to show up.

This ghost is not an evil ghost, but just a poor little ghost. Lu Zheng naturally will not kill it directly.

It is very easy to deal with this kind of little ghost, just bury it.

Lu Zheng carefully placed the mummy into the coffin. Others also helped to bring burial objects. They buried the coffin and held a memorial service at the grave.

"Beep, bab, bab..."

A childish voice sounded.

When everyone looked at the grave, they saw the greedy little devil appearing.

The little ghost clasped his hands together and bowed to Lu Zheng.

Then it took a few more breaths of the incense and disappeared in the sunlight.

[You converted a first-level greedy imp. You have a kind heart. Your Cultural Aura +3!]

Upon seeing this, Ma Gui hurriedly kowtowed a few more times, thinking that the matter was finally settled.

Lu Zheng turned to look at Ma Gui, "Remember your promise."

Ma Gui nodded and said, "I won't forget it. I will definitely do it."

The group returned to the town, and Ma Gui wanted to invite Lu Zheng to visit him.

However, Lu Zheng declined the invitation and returned to the inn where he was staying.

Lu Zheng lay on the bed, feeling exhausted, and quickly fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was already noon.

He sat up from the bed and took out the four treasures of the study from the bookcase.

I used up several Wenbao cards last night, it’s time to replenish them.

Last night's trip to the Wang family had made his literary style more than four feet long.

Lu Zheng took a deep breath, calmed down and picked up the pen.

There is righteousness in heaven and earth, and manifolds are mixed.

The lower part is Heyue, and the upper part is the sun star.

After writing four sentences in one stroke, the righteous energy in Lu Zheng's body was almost exhausted.

Suddenly, the words on the rice paper shone brightly.

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in the Wen Palace, the Haoran Zhengqi Hall.

The hall, which was originally covered in white, has undergone changes.

Around him, there is a righteous energy that condenses into the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers.

Although it was just a hazy scene like fog, Lu Zheng still felt a surge of powerful force.

"This……"

Lu Zheng was stunned, not knowing what was going on, but it was definitely not a bad thing.

Afterwards, his mind quickly returned to the outside world.

On the desk, the piece of rice paper has absorbed the aura and turned into four literary treasures.

Lu Zheng took out a spirit stone to replenish the righteous energy he had consumed, and then with a thought, his own righteous energy was released.

The righteous spirit changed, and the scene that was originally in the Wen Palace was actually flowing around his body.

Lu Zheng raised his hand and held the golden sun the size of his fist, and could feel the scorching heat contained in it.

I wonder what effect this little sun formed by the righteous energy will have when it is thrown out... Lu Zheng pondered in his heart.

He picked up a palm-sized hill at his feet, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and contained the power to suppress.

However, this scene consumes positive energy at a terrifying speed.

In a short while, Lu Zheng's righteousness was completely exhausted.

He had to use spirit stones to recover again, and after another experiment, he found that he could condense one of the items alone, but it consumed a lot of energy.

Not far away, a Taoist priest standing under the eaves was stunned with his mouth wide open.

Qingxuan found Lu Zheng as early as last night, and has been observing the situation secretly.

He knew what clues he wanted to find, so he just had to follow Lu Zheng and protect Lu Zheng in secret.

However, he did not have the habit of peeping at others. When Lu Zheng was alone in the room, Qingxuan would not peek at him.

It was just that he had smelled an unusual aura just now, and he couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to investigate, and then he saw a scene that shocked him.

The scholar had a vision. Qingxuan didn't expect that Lu Zheng actually had a vision.

The so-called visions of literati are actually a kind of Dharma image.

For some people who practice cultivation, their aura will undergo special changes, forming the appearance of all things. This is the manifestation of Taoism, which has a certain blessing on themselves and also shows the person's talent.

For example, phenomena such as lotus flowers blooming with every step and purple air coming from the east can only be seen by people of extraordinary talent.

Qingxuan didn't expect that Lu Zheng was only at the second level of Confucianism and Taoism, but he actually had a vision, and the vision was the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and the world!
"Could this child be the reincarnation of a saint..."

Qingxuan's eyes were fixed on him, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
