Chapter 21 The desires of people’s hearts are like fire and thunder!
After taking a breather and waiting for the weather to weaken, Lu Cheng stood up and started collecting loot. What is the difference between winning without licking the bag and not winning?
As for the black temple on the hillside, the cries of children can be heard from time to time... Let them go crying first, I am exhausted.
Lu Cheng first came to Li Jiuyou's body and tore off the Qiankun bag from his body. Among all the monks in Shilipo, he was the richest besides Lu Cheng himself. Two corpse puppets, two pieces One of the magical weapons is a copper bell containing a corpse puppet, and the other is a defensive magical weapon, a ghost-faced shield.
The defensive magic weapon is very expensive, and I haven’t even collected its predecessor.
In addition, the last skill he used can actually absorb other people's magic power from a distance. Although Lu Cheng did not dare to let the other party suck him dry during the fight, his mind turned quickly:
"Anyone who practices this kind of exercise similar to the Dafa of absorbing energy must have purified The method of mana, otherwise I will be seeking death. I hope there is something I need in Li Jiuyou’s collection.”
Lu Cheng picked up the Qiankun bag. At this time, he did not look at it more, but went to collect other things. , the first one is Li Jiuyou, the second one is You Pozi, and the third one is Tu Hong.
Most of the remaining Gu Masters are very poor, at least as far as immortal cultivators are concerned, they are so poor that they don’t even have a Qiankun Bag, and they are already at the bottom of the bottom in the world of cultivating immortals.
Killed eleven people and picked up five Qiankun bags and a soul bag. In addition, Lu Cheng also peeled off the vine armor from Tu Hong’s body. Although it was disgusting to be soaked with blood, Lu Cheng I tried cutting with a sword and found that Tu Hong's rattan armor was really tough. Although he was afraid of fire, with the help of Yin spirit magic, even this weakness was greatly compensated.
He has already offended the Gu God Sect, and he will never let this matter go so easily. Now it is just a point to increase his combat power by one point.
When he touched Mrs. You’s vaginal bag, Lu Cheng, who had a keen sense of consciousness, could almost faintly hear thousands of souls wailing in his ears.
It seems that this ghost woman has accumulated a lot of money in her lifetime. Although she does not dare to go to Mang Mountain to practice, she has also accumulated a lot of wealth.
Unknown to Lu Cheng, this bag of hundreds of ghosts is a way for Mrs. You to save her life. Once she is bullied by an expert, she will untie the bag and release the ghosts at the opponent. It is absolutely difficult for monks in the Qi training realm to cope with it. Unfortunately, Mrs. You used Nightmare Victory on Lu Cheng and was restrained by his body-protecting divine light and died with one blow. This spell that had been accumulated for many years did not even have a chance to be used, and it fell to Lu Cheng. in hand.
After doing this, the young Taoist turned back to the black temple on the slope and said:
"Gousheng, Erya, take your friends and stay away from the door. Your mother asked me to take you home for dinner."
After saying that, he stayed for a while.
Then Lu Cheng drew his sword and slashed open the door of the black temple in front of him.
He walked into it step by step, and first saw eight children wearing red bellybands with bare buttocks and their faces turned into tabby cats from crying.
Then I glanced around and saw that the interior layout of the black temple in front of me was quite simple. There were only wooden boards on the ground and talismans on the four walls. In the middle of the temple, there was a wooden sculpture. Statue:
It was a tall old man in gray robe with a sinister face.
The carving of this statue is extremely lifelike. When Lu Cheng first saw this statue, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and he subconsciously clenched the hilt of the red pine sword in his hand.
“This is the leader of the Gu God, the legendary real person who has achieved immortality?”
It is said that all black temples in southern Xinjiang must enshrine this statue, otherwise they will not be able to recruit people. That's it for the Gu King. If he is summoned, the Gu King will devour everyone present. But if it is a black temple with a statue of a god, the Gu King will only devour the sacrificial offerings and protect the local tranquility to a certain extent.
“Let’s go home.”
Lu Cheng said this to the children surrounding him.
He originally wanted to do whatever he wanted and set the black temple on fire.
But when he came in and saw the statue of the Gu God leader, Lu Cheng felt vaguely that he couldn't do this. The leader of the Gu God has been an immortal and ancestor in the country of thousands of mountains in the southern wilderness for hundreds of years. He is at least a figure on the same level as his master, the Red God Son.
To offend him for no reason is tantamount to seeking death.
Afternoon.
Lu Cheng took the eight children back to Chixin Temple. From a distance, he saw Chen Qingfeng making calculations with a compass, then setting up the formation flag and casting a spell into the ground.
"Brother Lu, you are back, cough cough..."
Chen Qingfeng coughed while talking. It was obvious that his internal injuries had not healed yet.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
"Brother Lu went to cut down mountains and ruined temples to wipe out blood-eating ghosts and gods. Chen was injured and could not go with him, but the foundation of the local Gu God Sect Deep, I’m afraid it won’t happen overnight It can be removed. I have set up a Yimu Xuanguang Formation around the Chixin Temple. Although it is only a second-level mid-level formation, it can help Brother Lu guard the Chixin Temple by absorbing the energy of the surrounding mountains and forests."
"In addition, this is the fire thunder bead given by Master Fan. Now that we brothers and sisters no longer need it, it should be of greater use if placed here by Brother Lu."
With that said, Chen Qingfeng placed himself He took out the fire thunder beads on his body and handed them to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng did not hesitate and took the Fire Thunder Bead. He had to sigh in his heart: Chen Qingfeng is a person who is almost meticulous in his work. A Taoist Qi practitioner who works step by step like this will definitely not be the best in the pool if he encounters the slightest chance. thing.
"Brother Chen is kind enough, and Lu has taken note of it. I have to send these children back to their parents, so I'll excuse you for now."
"Well, Brother Lu, please help yourself. ”
As he said that, the two of them passed each other. Behind him, Chen Qingfeng coughed violently again.
Whether it is true or not, as long as Lu Cheng is not a thick-skinned and evil-hearted person, how can he not remember the goodness of Brother Chen?
On the other side, Chen Qingfeng looked at Lu Cheng's back and sighed in his heart:
"Although it is speculated that he may come back alive, he was not even injured. Could it be that Huoyun Mansion Is the swordsmanship passed down from the direct descendant so much better than what Master Fan taught me? Yin heard that this fellow Daoist Lu was the least effective among the twenty-four disciples of the ancestor of the Red God Son. Now it seems that the rumor is wrong. If the rumor is true, then the swordsmanship of the ancestor of the Red God Son must be as high as To what extent?”
“Cough cough cough cough…”
Thinking of this, Chen Qingfeng couldn't help but cough violently due to internal injuries caused by excessive thinking.
On the other side, Lu Cheng had already asked the maids in the temple to send the other children away, and sent Gou Sheng and Erya back to He Lan.
It turns out that He Lan has been in a state of confusion since she woke up from a coma.
But when she saw her children, she collapsed emotionally. She turned over and fell to the ground, hugging her children.
"Gou Sheng kneels down, Erya, you do the same, kowtow to the master."
While talking about He Lan, he kowtowed to Lu Cheng. Although Gou Sheng and Er Ya were ignorant, they also followed suit.
"Okay, you all get up. He Guanshi, from now on, just regard Chixin Temple as your new home. Raise Gou Sheng and Er Ya well and let them grow up. In this way, too It can be regarded as the spirit in heaven that comforts your husband.”
The reason why Lu Cheng rescued people this time was not to thank anyone, but because he had a clear conscience. If he was facing a giant like the Gu God Cult Leader, who would slaughter an entire city, Lu Cheng could only watch without feeling guilty.
But if you can tolerate a few monastic cultivators displaying their power and blood as sacrifices to ghosts and gods in front of their own homes, then what else can you not tolerate?
"You guys should have a good rest."
After soothing, Lu Cheng turned around and left the wing, leaving space for the orphans and widows who had gone through great changes.
“Who among you is going to clean this piece of rattan armor?”
He came to the temple and summoned the servants, and then Lu Cheng threw the piece of rattan armor that he got from Tu Hong on the ground. , asked.
Seeing the red and white soaked on the vine armor, the servants and women present were a little afraid, and no one dared to answer for a while.
Immortal cultivators have spells for cleaning, but Lu Cheng does not. He was not in a hurry and just closed his eyes and waited for a moment.
"Master, let me clean it."
After a while, a strong woman among the crowd walked out and picked up the rattan armor. They were just ignorant but did not Stupid, knowing it's full of human blood. Therefore, this woman who is willing to step forward is very courageous.
“Very good, this thing will be sent to my room after cleaning. In addition, from today on, you will be the deputy steward. From now on, you will get the same share as Steward He, and help Steward He to manage the situation well. "
Lu Cheng was not surprised by this result and turned around and left after giving instructions.
Only the strong woman with a happy face was left, and the servants around her were already full of envy and regret.
In Chen Qingfeng’s side room, Lu Cheng knocked on the door and entered.
"Brother Lu, what else can I do?"
Chen Qingfeng was meditating to heal his injuries and asked as he regained his composure.
"Brother Chen, are you interested in accompanying me to search your home? The four surnames Li, Tu, Zou, and You have been entrenched in Shiyuan County for a long time with the help of magic. You also know that although the local area is poor, there are still many If you and I don’t take what the young spirit creature has produced, they won’t let it go when the monks from the Gu God Sect arrive in two days.”
To reciprocate love, Lu Cheng has always been a person who respects others as much as he respects him. One share of the spiritual objects copied from the four surnames Li, Tu, Zou, and You should be enough to repay Chen Qingfeng for setting up the formation and gifting the Fire Thunder Bead.
"...Okay, in that case I will advance and retreat together with Brother Lu."
Chen Qingfeng changed his mind and agreed. This matter has already been involved, and the future cultivation of my brother and sister will require a lot of cultivation resources.
"I represent Master Fan, and Brother Lu represents the ancestor of the Red God Son. The Fire Cloud Mansion has completely intervened in this matter. After all, Shiyuan County is still the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If the Gu God Sect dares to refuse, it will not be spared. , there is also a Tang Xuanjia Army stationed at Zhennanguan. Things are really getting serious. Is the Lord of Nanjiang Prefecture helping the Tang Dynasty’s national religion, or is he helping The Gu God Sect? Even if the Xuanmen orthodox sect eliminates the blood-eating ghosts and gods, we still have the right to do it.”
There is a difference between casual cultivators and established sect monks. After doing this kind of thing, the top leaders of the Gu God Sect showed up and even the ancestor took action directly. He was killed and no one would avenge the injustice of the casual cultivators.
Huo Yun Mansion cultivator, if you just press him to death, it will be regarded as enmity with Huo Yun Mansion.
What people who cultivate immortality pursue is immortality. Unless the great catastrophe of heaven and earth comes, they are deceived by the tribulation, or face core interests that cannot be compromised, otherwise the higher the cultivation level, the less likely they will touch Wuming. Angry, he formed a grudge against the monks who were in the same realm as himself.
Lu Cheng did not expect that in this short period of time, so many thoughts flashed through Chen Qingfeng's heart, but he was pure swordsman and wild, especially now with a fire thunder bead. With it in hand, ordinary Foundation Establishment monks would dare to try it if they had the chance.
This is an idea that most monks in this world would never dare to think lightly.
“Worshiping evil gods and plotting rebellion are crimes that would lead to beheading and annihilating nine tribes in any dynasty or generation. However, in order for us to become famous as teachers, I asked Brother Chen to polish it up for me.”< br>
"Oh?"
Hearing what Lu Cheng said, Chen Qingfeng also became interested. He took out the pen, ink and paper from his Qiankun bag, waiting for Lu Cheng to punish him.
"The four families of Li, Tu, Zou, and You can retain their personal property, but they must liberate their slaves and re-measure and divide all the local land equally. The freed slaves can go to Chixin Temple with the document of selling themselves, and receive Five taels of silver..."
Lu Cheng said his thoughts bit by bit.
Chen Qingfeng was holding a pen at his side to record everything.
Finally, the young Taoist priest sighed:
“Brother Lu, according to your method, except for the four main families of Li, Tu, Zou, and You, everyone in Shiyuan County will benefit. Come on, if you say that these four families are worshiping evil gods and plotting to rebel, it is okay even if they are not, because all the people who have benefited will testify for you. ”
As he spoke, Chen Qingfeng wrote again, polishing and sorting out Lu Cheng’s thoughts, then waved his hands and cast a spell. The inkstone on the side flew up and poured the ink onto the paper. On the paper, the ink followed the handwriting on the first page, penetrated and engraved it layer by layer, and soon turned into a pile of written notices.
"Well, in this way we can be regarded as a famous teacher, and we can't use our power to rob."
All the villagers in Shiyuan County have been oppressed by the four families of Li, Tu, Zou and You for a long time. Well, Lu Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing at this time. He even felt that he was merciful enough by not killing the main lineages of the four families as well.
During the Black Temple Blood Sacrifice held every five years, the children of these four main families have never been caught.
That afternoon, Lu Cheng spread the beans and summoned forty-nine heavenly soldiers and generals. Following himself and Chen Qingfeng, they went straight to defeat the Li, Tu, Zou, and You families who had lost their heads. , seizing his family property.
The various spiritual objects accumulated by the four families over the years were of course used to rob the rich and help the poor, and fell into the pockets of Lu Cheng and Chen Qingfeng. However, the remaining gold, silver, rice, flour and food were left by Lu Cheng and Chen Qingfeng. The city only temporarily returned half of it to Chixin Temple to stabilize order in the county, while the remaining ones were distributed directly to the poor local people.
If the wealth of the rich is accumulated through their own hard work, intelligence and struggle, then there is nothing to say, they deserve it. It is a pity that the wealth of the vast majority of the rich has been quickly accumulated through power and privilege. The common people are obviously the main creators of wealth, but they are squeezed out to the extent that they have difficulty in clothing and food. At least Li, Tu, and others in Shiyuan County The wealth of the Zou and You families was gathered based on the power of magic.
Then, when they met the more violent Xuanmen Sword Cultivator Lu Cheng, they had nothing to say about spitting out all the wealth they had accumulated over the years.
It's tit for tat, don't complain.
As the four families were overthrown and wealth was distributed, people's hearts in the entire Shiyuan County burned with aspiration like fire. This aspiration followed the Taoist and gathered in the Chixin Temple. Fire is like thunder!
