Celestial Immortal

 Provide enlightenment for Mr. Qingyun.

Chu Chen did not refuse Cui Fujun’s commission and readily agreed on the spot.

 Not to mention Cui Fujun’s reputation is not easy to refute. The most important thing is that both he and his master Xu Ping admire Mr. Qingyun quite a lot.

When many people are at the bottom, they are arrogant, corrupt and arrogant towards the powerful, complain bitterly about injustice, and use hatred to bully the weak. But once they gain power and possess transcendent power and status, they will no longer treat the weak and low-level people in the past as "human beings". ”, becoming the annoying person he used to be, losing empathy and being arrogant.

As a top expert, Mr. Qingyun faced his former master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, who was a rookie in the seventh-level Taoist practice. He did not use power to overwhelm others, nor did he use force to bully the weak. Instead, he was reasonable and conscientious. This was extremely difficult. .

As law enforcers back then, the sentiments between the master and the apprentice became even stronger.

In addition, Mr. Qingyun sacrificed his cultivation for the sake of good fortune. As a Confucian monk with great supernatural powers and a master of the laws of kings and ghosts, he knew very well that this move could not "conquer the merits of the Qingyu Mountain God". ", completely washed away her guilt, she entered the underworld and was judged by the underworld. She would eventually be sent to **** to be punished and suffer, boiling her body and mind, causing her flesh to fester, and the pain was unstoppable.

However, he paid attention to the word "conscience". In the end, he did not hesitate and gave up his whole life to practice Taoism.

It is precisely because of the lack of accumulation in his previous life that Mr. Qingyun had a bad start after reincarnation. He happened to meet him by chance, so he was naturally willing to protect the way and provide enlightenment.

Back then, he was just a fledgling Taoist boy. Mr. Qingyun, as a top-notch magical powerhouse, faced that kind of situation and still had the time to pay attention to him and told his master Xu Ping that he was a good seedling. But now, it is a turn of events. Until he protected and enlightened Mr. Qingyun.

 This made him feel like he was in another world.

After coming out of the Emperor's Palace, Lao Liu did not immediately return to Dachang with Chu Chen. Instead, he stayed in the underworld for a few days, asking various demons to practice their skills from Judge Cui, Guandi and others, and teaching him the Dharma. , became the "Master of All Demons" to accumulate wealth.

Chu Chen returned to Dachang alone and appeared near Xiaoling Mountain.

Not long after, he returned to Xiaolingshan Temple, an ancient temple in the mountains.

 One day passed, and Xiaolingshan Temple returned to order. On the surface, everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, in fact, the monks in the temple were panicked and worried.

 There is no other reason than that Abbot Changkong is crazy.

He wanted to commit suicide, but after being stopped by Chu Chen, Xu felt "fear" in his heart and it was difficult to face it. He was seriously injured and sat cross-legged among the ruins, stumbling down and mumbling something, looking crazy. His eyes were full of confusion, and he turned a deaf ear to the calls of the monks in the temple.

It was not until Chu Chen returned from the Netherworld that the confused and crazy Chang Kong raised his head, looking at Chu Chen timidly and expectantly, silently.

 “The matter has been taken care of for you.”

Chu Chen got straight to the point and said:

　　"I went to the Emperor Yama's Palace to pay my respects to Lord Cui because of my relationship with him. The Lord said that your [Book of Prayers for Transcendence] is useful and it is not a waste of effort."

 “Amitabha~”

Hearing this, Chang Kong seemed to be relieved. He clasped his hands together and let out a long sigh, feeling much more relaxed:

"It's good if it's useful. I know I can't forgive my sin, but I can make up for it. Even if I die, my conscience will feel better."

Hearing this, Chu Chen shook his head:

"Don't be too happy too early. Although it is useful, the killing you committed is too serious. Many people died in your hands before their life span was reached. The karma is deep and your prayer book for salvation is not enough to make up for everyone."

"this"

Chang Kong was stunned for a moment, his face was full of shame, he nodded slightly, looking a little uneasy.

At this moment, the gray-haired old monk looked a bit like a kid who made a mistake, looking very embarrassed and at a loss.

He unintentionally committed a heinous act of murder, but he did have a conscience and a bottom line, and his moral character was not bad.

When Chu Chen saw this scene, he felt a little emotional and immediately spoke slowly:

“Mr. Cui Fu has given me a [Book of Confession]. If you truly repent, there is a way to make amends. Afterwards, whether you want to kill yourself or I will behead you and send you to the underworld and hell, it’s all up to you.”

Upon hearing the [Confession], the old monk Chang Kong’s eyes lit up:

“Elder Chu, what is [Confession]?”

“This book has the same purpose as your [Book of Prayers for Transcendence], but the blessing given by the Lord is even more magical. If you do good deeds, accumulate merits, and pray for salvation, you can accumulate Yin Gong for the souls of the dead, adding blessings and longevity.”

 After saying that, Chu Chen took out a golden booklet from his sleeve and handed it over to Xukong:

"You decide for yourself. If you still want to die now, I won't stop you."

 Old monk Changkong took the booklet, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and as if he had found his goal:

"I will not die for the time being, but I will use this broken body to accumulate merit and merit for them to live longer and be blessed."

 “Great good!”

 Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction.

 Of course, people’s hearts are fickle.

Chu Chen had to think with a "little man's heart". He was worried that Chang Kong would change his mind in the future, and he didn't want to die, nor was he willing to plead guilty to the law, so he immediately said:

"Friend Daoist Changkong, you are a sinful person right now. I promise to the Immortal Court and the Netherworld to guarantee you and give you the freedom to practice martial arts and accumulate good deeds. Now, the poor Taoist wants to leave shackles on you. I don't know what you want. Not willing?"

Chang Kong nodded repeatedly:

“This is what it should be! Elder Chu, please help me!”

Chu Chen nodded, and with a thought in his mind, [Ling Jianzi] transformed into a sword energy and flew into Chang Kong's body.

【Sword of the Spirit】is Xu Zhenjun’s unique skill, which is to punish the evil but not the good. The divine sword enters the body. If Chang Kong’s character changes drastically and he changes his original intention, he can kill him with just one thought.

After doing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Chang Kongxu now has a goal and no longer seeks death. He starts taking healing elixirs to cultivate and regain his strength.

After taking the elixir, Chang Qi’s color improved a lot. After he calmed down, he asked:

“Elder Chu, all you need to do is do good deeds?”

"good!"

Chang Kong nodded repeatedly and murmured:

"Speaking of which, I know a secret. Once it is accomplished, it will be a great merit."

 Great merit?

Chu Chen became interested: "What great merit?"

 “Forgot~”

Chang Kong had a look of confusion on his face, a little distressed:

“Lao Na’s character has been damaged over the years, his soul has become stagnant, and he has forgotten many things. For a while, he couldn’t even remember them.”

 Chu Chen: “.”

 It seems that Chang Kong is still a little crazy.

"Abbot Changkong, then think about it carefully. Once you think of it, you will go and achieve this great merit. If you can't think of it, it's okay. Accumulate your merits, cultivate to perfection, and make up for the dead souls of the past.",

Chu Chen shook his head. The memory of his soul was so mysterious that he couldn't force it.

 After saying that, he did not stay in Xiaolingshan Temple for a long time and left behind a divine general talisman to protect Xiaolingshan Temple and the surrounding people until the old monk Changkong recovered his magical powers.

 Speaking of which, he is currently troubled with trivial matters.

On the one hand, he was busy with errands in Lizhou, and on the other hand, he had to find the reincarnation of Mr. Qingyun, protect him, resolve disasters, enlighten him, and many other things.

 After doing this, he planned to leave.

 The wind is fierce.

“Brother, I thought I could catch a big fish, but it turned out that my trip was in vain. That Chang Kong is actually good.”

The little devil had a regretful look on his face. If his senior brother didn't slay the demons, it would be hard for him to gain favor.

Chu Chen sighed:

“I can’t say whether it’s good or bad. I can only say that Fellow Taoist Changkong has a conscience and a bottom line.”

　　　Little Guizai is indeed a child at heart, and there are only two types of people: "good guys" and "bad guys".

However, they can’t say whether it’s good or bad.

Although Chang Kong did not intend to commit murder, to the victim, he was not considered a "good guy" by any means, but a real evil person. No matter what, Chang Kong had to be beheaded, exterminated, and sent to hell.

However, it would be best if Chang Kong could make up for the dead souls during his lifetime. His troubles and journey were not in vain.

This trip, in addition to getting the sacred grass [Leopard Eye Southern Star Grass] as I wished, can also be regarded as a good deed.

 Immediately, Chu Chen had a thought in his mind and looked inside the temple of his heart.

As expected, his merits increased again.

In the past few months, after taking up the post of Immortal of the Third Grade [Lizhou Supervisor], his meritorious deeds have increased again, successfully breaking through the nine thousand mark and reaching nine thousand one hundred. This time, his meritorious deeds have increased by ten. The total meritorious deeds reached nine thousand one hundred and ten.

However, what surprised him was that the Heart Temple manifested magical powers again.

 【Achievements: Nine Thousand One Hundred and Ten】

 【Supernatural power: Taishang Liuren Dharma Su】

 【Source: "Tai Shang Liu Ren Ming Jian Fu Yin Jing"】

　　【God advises, and the law covers the form. I am alone in the clouds and mist, hiding my body. Thousands of soldiers, all who see are blind. 】

　　【On the day of Jiazi, or on the day and night of Liujia, the offerings in the previous tense are the same as those in Qingci. At the third watch, enforce the law with the left hand and the pen with the right hand. Look northwest and recite the incantation forty-nine times. Take forty-nine mouthfuls of Qi and blow on the Dharma gown and the pen. Saw the left hand to write the book "I", the right hand saw to write the book Yin, and then saw the back saw. The book hides my body.]

　　【In the past, Sun Bin became sworn friends with Pang Juan, and he sought guidance from Mr. Gui Gu to learn about military warfare. The teacher is in the garden to see the fruit come true, and Ling Bin watches it. Suddenly at night there was a man who crossed the wall and went to the Nine Gardens to steal fruits and eat them. Bin is hiding himself, holding a knife to repair it, he is a white ape. Holding it, he suddenly said: "Don't hurt my body. I am born with the heaven and the earth. The sun and the moon grow together. The emptiness of Dao Qi condenses and takes shape." I have a mysterious text. If you come, wait for me here. I will pass it on to you. Bin then knelt down and retreated, and the ape turned into white light and went away. The next day, Bin was waiting for him as scheduled. Suddenly I saw a white ape coming by air from the northwest and giving me a scroll of Bin Xuanwen.]

 【Practice conditions: six thousand meritorious deeds】

“It’s actually a miraculous power.”

Chu Chen was quite surprised.

　　褙, that is, 褙子, is a short coat worn by ordinary people, and can be worn by both men and women.

 When he saw the supernatural power appearing in the Xin Temple, he was very surprised.

At the beginning, although he didn't get a glimpse of the specific method, it was not difficult to see that this magical power could hide his body's escaping magic.

Having practiced this magical power [Tai Shang Liu Ren Fa Su], he is already good at evasion. I am afraid that his evasion magical power is even better. He is even more powerful than Lao Liu. He has devoted himself to the art and reached the pinnacle.

 Honestly, this is a good thing.

No one is too capable, especially when it comes to covering up and escaping. The more methods and the more skillful they are, the more secure he will be in saving his life.

However, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

He helped Chang Kong facilitate this matter and actually obtained this magical power.

Based on his understanding of the Heart Temple, there are certain rules to follow in manifesting magical powers. Sometimes they do not manifest randomly, but there is a certain correlation.

 Could it be that the old monk Changkong also learned this magical power?

Chu Chen was thinking secretly, curious in his heart, but he didn't delve into it deeply.

 When he had some free time later, he started to study the secret book of magical powers and practiced this magical power smoothly.

 It takes about one stick of incense.

Chu Chen returned to Lizhou City and immediately went to the Du Guan Courtyard to meet with the Du Guan Bailu Xianweng and report to him what happened to the old monk Chang Kong, which was regarded as a report to the Immortal Court.

 “This is happening!”

After hearing this, the White Deer Immortal was quite emotional, with a complicated expression on his face, and nodded:

“Fellow Daoist Chu has considered it carefully and handled it properly, so he will follow your arrangements. I will report to the Immortal Court in the future.”

 “Thank you Bai Ludu Guan!”

Chu Chen cupped his hands, quite appreciating the White Deer Immortal's cheerfulness.

 In fact, after he said this, he will also be held responsible.

From this aspect, Bailu Xianweng is indeed quite responsible. He is not a boss who lets his subordinates do things when things happen, and blames others when something goes wrong.

As soon as he thought about this, Chu Chen smiled and said in greeting:

"You guys, I've been out for the past two days. How's your mission to slay the witches and demons going?"

“Thanks to the clues from the Supervision Department under Chu Daoyou, several witch temples have been destroyed recently.”

After the White Deer Immortal complimented him, he glanced at Chu Chen inadvertently, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.

 At first, he was quite afraid of Chu Chen.

 The State Supervision Department is a considerable force. If Chu Chen is restrained and does not cooperate with the Ghosts and Gods Department, it will be much more difficult for him to destroy the Litian Witch God.

However, what really surprised him was that what Chu Chen did in recent months far exceeded his expectations.

 The State Supervision Department basically reported all news to the Ghosts Department in a timely manner, and they were very cooperative. The two parties worked together and achieved a lot of results. The situation was three points smoother than when he was in charge of a state before.

This surprised him very much and made him a little confused about Chu Chen.

“The only pity is that the current attacks on mountains and temples are mostly from Litiansun Temple and Zhongsun Temple, but not from Zimiao Temple.”

The White Deer Immortal is quite a pity and a bit regretful.

 “Everyone is in charge, this matter cannot be rushed, please take care of it slowly.”

 “This old man knows”

Not long after, Chu Chen came out of the capital courtyard.

“It seems that the Ghosts and Gods Division has reached an impasse.”

Chu Chen shook his head and sighed secretly.

Speaking of which, despite the fact that the Ghosts and Gods Department has been working very hard to suppress witches and gods recently, in fact, many officials in Lizhou and Xian are slacking off and doing their best to cope with the situation.

It was not because of the dispute between the two factions of the "Jade Emperor Ziwei". Their status was not high enough and they were not qualified to participate. It was entirely because they still had concerns and fears about annihilating the Witch God Li Tian.

 The real foundation of the Litian God System in Shifang Jungle is the Jiudazi Temple and the Ancestral Temple.

 If these ten major temples are not destroyed, the loss of Litian Witch God will not be painful or itchy.

 At the moment, Litian Witch God has no real counterattack.

 The immortal officials and gods in Lizhou are still quite afraid of the Litian Witch God, and many people dare not take action.

If you want to reverse the situation, you have to take action personally from the Litian Witch God. If the White Deer Immortal can resist him, you can completely reverse the situation and boost the morale of the whole state.

 “The White Deer Immortal is in a hurry.”

Chu Chen shook his head, somewhat helpless.

 He has no clues yet.

I thought Chang Kong was a big fish, but unexpectedly, he was involved in an old incident at Baiyun Temple a hundred years ago. Unintentionally, I went to the underworld and found another underworld errand.

“I don’t know where Mr. Qingyun was born.”

With this thought, Chu Chen did not hesitate and took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, and his consciousness sank into it.

"Within a thousand miles. It seems to be in Lizhou, Yaozhou area."
