I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 265: Chivalrous Monk
"I'm just afraid I won't be able to cover up if something goes wrong." Li Ming muttered to himself in a low voice, "Although I have now broken through the two barriers of spirit and qi, and I have also made some progress in the barrier of body, I am not a true innate after all. The Xuanzhen secret treasure is so precious. Even if there is only one magical power, once the news leaks out, it will definitely drive all the innates in Lingzhou crazy. My small body can't withstand it. I don't know how far Miao Lingzi has reached."

With Li Ming's current impressive divine essence and innate qi, and such a deep foundation, Li Ming felt that he was basically at the beginning of the innate realm. He could stand evenly against the old demon Dongfang who was already exhausted and injured. However, if he really had to compete with his own abbot, Li Ming felt that he was still lacking something. When he officially broke through to the innate realm, it would be unclear who would win or lose.

For some reason, Li Ming's mind suddenly emerged the scene of himself punching the abbot, and then sitting on the lotus platform, suppressing a group of first monks who ascended to the position of abbot.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! This is so unlucky! Whoever wants to be the abbot can do it!"

Now, on the surface, the selection of the Lord of Jiulian City is underway, while secretly Miao Lingzi is planning to retrieve the secret treasure. What role will I play in this?
And there is that man in black. I do have some clues about the martial arts he displayed later. So, I have to go talk to that old Taoist priest Miao Lingzi again.

Li Ming sighed at last, and went to the courtyard to practice the Bone Strengthening I Ching chapter in the Infinite Fist Sutra, and did not rest until late at night. One must know that practice is like rowing against the current, if one does not advance, one will retreat. Although Li Ming has a golden finger, he has never slacked off day and night. His hard practice day after day is the fundamental reason for his achievements today.

The next morning.

Li Ming opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, which disappeared without a trace after two or three breaths. This was because Li Ming's Qi barrier had been broken not long ago, and his Jing barrier had not been broken, so he had not obtained the innate body, and it was difficult for him to control it freely for a while.

Another half a minute passed before Li Ming finally gathered his breath, got up and went out.

This time, Li Ming carefully wrote down the route he had taken, so he wouldn't get lost in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, there was a bustling crowd in front, and many people gathered together, looking like they were watching a show.

Li Ming's mind moved, and he casually grabbed a big man and asked, "Sir, I wonder what happened earlier?"

The man was furious and about to explode, but when he turned around he saw Li Ming dressed as a monk, so he said patiently, "The Six Gates exam results are being announced today, and those people up ahead are all there to see the results!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, but found that he couldn't move it at all. Only then did he realize that he had met a master, so he smiled and said, "Little Master, do you want to go and see it too? Let's go together."

"Oh I got it!"

Li Ming's interest increased greatly. He suddenly remembered the time when he and Li Xian looked at the list together in Aries City, and tasted the special snacks of Aries City together in front of the Six Gates. He also saw Mu Qingcheng's stunning appearance for the first time, so he squeezed through the crowd and entered.

Although Jiuliancheng is an independent city, it is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and there is no situation where only the city lord is known but the government is not.

On the contrary, although the mayor of Jiulian City has long been determined to be selected from the nine families, he has official endorsement. Every time a selection is held, local government officials will be invited to watch the ceremony and will be awarded a seal to demonstrate its legitimacy.

In this situation where military power is paramount and forces in various places are independent, there are many forces like Jiuliancheng. After all, not every force is as honest as Guangde Temple in building a temple in the mountains. Moreover, although Guangde Temple is on the mountain, its influence is also spread out. It is easier to get things done under the name of a lay disciple of Guangde Temple.

But Guangde Temple is a Buddhist temple after all, so the local official forces can breathe a sigh of relief and live a pretty good life.

But some places are different. Take Jiuliancheng, for example. The entire city was built with the combined efforts of nine brothers. Successive generations added bricks and tiles, gradually building it to where it is today. But if you really want to put it bluntly, there's a saying that goes, "All under heaven belongs to the king." You built the city, sure, but what about the land? Where's the title deed? You claim it was earned through land reclamation? Sorry, that's government property. If you have the means, just move your city.

This would have been true during the heyday of the imperial court, but things are different now. The imperial court has lost its former power. Over the years, the central and local governments have become different. In many places, the Six Gates or the imperial court are only symbolic administrative agencies, with mansions established according to the hierarchy. In reality, they are just clay figures with little real power.

However, there are also some areas where the government wants to take it over, so they will send more forces and select capable officials to go there. The two sides will fight each other, and some areas will be taken over by local forces. These things are tacitly understood by everyone. In short, they are unspoken rules. Anyway, they can maintain a decent appearance, but no one knows how long it can last.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Ming. Even if the sky falls, it won’t fall on his head.

At this moment, Li Ming was swimming along with the flow of people, as slippery as a loach, and he squeezed to the front in no time.

At this moment, a team of yamen runners in official uniforms walked out of the Six Gates, picked up a roll of yellow paper and posted it on the notice board on the right side of the door.

There was nothing unusual on the Yunzhou Heroes List. There were not so many changes among the innate first-level masters. Li Ming wondered if he was the one who was most likely to break through?
But since there were no changes, there was nothing to see. He quickly moved his gaze downwards. There were not many changes in the Heroes List. Even if there were one or two, it had nothing to do with him. He then skipped it and went straight to the Talent List.

Well, there's a change this time.

Wang Changchen was still at the top of the list, but then Li Ming discovered that his name was also on the list, and was ranked second after Wang Changchen.

Dharma name: Mingxin.

Identity: Warrior monk of the Dharma Hall of Guangde Temple.

Age: Seventeen.

Weapon: Black gold stick.

Martial arts: Guangde Temple's unique Ruyi Staff Technique, Great Light Fist, Great Compassion and Great Mercy Thousand Leaf Hand and Guangde Temple's secret techniques.

Background: He was adopted by a monk of Guangde Temple when he was still a baby. He grew up in the temple. He was gifted in martial arts and practiced martial arts and medicine in the Dharma Academy.

Deeds: When he first entered the martial arts world, he cleverly captured the lecherous Jade Tooth Bandit in Aries City. Later, when he saw injustice, he passed by Qingfeng Mountain and wiped out the evil bandits Sanwa Village. He also killed the Skinning Demon and the Five Poison Demon among the Thirteen Evils of Nujiang.

The Jade Tooth Bandit, the leader of the Sanwa Village, and the Five Poisonous Demons are all masters of the third level of acquired martial arts. It is speculated that this person's martial arts skills have reached the pinnacle of acquired martial arts.

Evaluation: He has a heart of a bodhisattva, ruthless methods, helps the poor and needy, punishes evil and promotes good, and can be called a chivalrous monk.

Behind it are four big characters written in red ink.

There is hope!
