Chapter 60 Immortal
Li Wuxiang looked at him silently and waited for a while: "No more buts? Are you serious?"
"Seriously." Zeng Jianqiu frowned and thought for a moment, "Before Zhao Puppet wanted to take away your body, oh, even when he was in the stove, he should have used the golden twine to transform himself into a ghost fairy, so he possessed Zhao Xi’s body. Jin Tangzi is indeed a treasure. You don’t know how difficult it is to take it seriously. I haven’t heard of anyone doing it in so many years.”
"So after he came out of the stove... I just thought that you used your method to ward off evil spirits on him. He is not an ordinary lonely ghost, but he is not a ghost or fairy either. He should be somewhere between the two. Then the problem arises with what Zhao Qi did. Generally speaking, when you go to a place to invite gods, people's incense and willpower gather together, so to speak, you can think of it as a seat exclusive to the true god. , waiting for people to come down and sit down.”
"This seat, whether or not the true god is invited in the end, still belongs to someone else. If you invite the Kitchen God in Jinshui, whether you invite him or not, the Kitchen God's seat still belongs to the owner. Sometimes some lonely souls wild ghost, mountain The wild monsters and the like, who are a little bit wise and courageous, go up and sit down, enjoy the incense, claim to be the Stove Lord or some righteous god, help people with things, and then they still have to leave. "
"But Zhao Qi used Ranshan's talisman. I don't understand it very well, but I guess he drew a Talisman of the Stove Lord on the roof of every house. This thing should be to give the incense that people originally gave to the Stove Lord. I didn’t steal this. I understand that such a stolen thing should be useless, but I don’t know what happened to their random talisman. It really turned into a fake Stove Lord... Just like the fake emperor you used to have ”
"In this way, the incense gathered into a small false god's throne, and Zhao Puppet sat on it. You may say it is fake, but it is also a real incense wish... So I think Zhao Puppet may be real. Becoming a god or an immortal.”
Li Wuxiang slowly breathed out: "You mean Zhao Qi created a god."
"Almost. But I don't understand why Ranshan's talisman is so powerful?"
"Is it related to their ancestor?"
Zeng Jianqiu shook his head: "I don't know about that."
"What should we do?"
Zeng Jianqiu scratched his head and sighed again and again: "How do I know about such evil? Anyway, it is definitely not with you. I guess it is still in Jinshui. This kind of thing should be done by people from the Netherworld. They understand this. But you must do it. What I said is that people from Jin Shui should not be asked to worship the Stove Lord anymore, as it will easily lead to Zhao Puppet worshiping him. In fact, it is best not to stay in Jin Shui. If such a scene is made, it will easily attract ghosts in the future. "
"Yes." Li Wuxiang nodded, slowly breathed out in his heart, and then tried to use a more casual tone, "When you asked me to leave before, you told me to find You Jiuyuan——"
Zeng Jianqiu raised his hand: "Hey, let's not mention this now. I have no other meaning. You are not a Taiyi swordsman, so I can't bring it up to you again."
"Oh, then you told me that Zhao Puppet became an evil. Does this evil refer to an external evil? Zhao Puppet mentioned to me, what is that?"
As he spoke, he felt his whole body tense up. But until he finished speaking, there was nothing strange deep in his consciousness.
Zeng Jianqiu seemed to be relieved: "Oh, this. Sigh, I really don't know where you come from, and I don't know this either. Let's put it this way, as a practitioner, when the Tao is deep and you practice powerful methods, you must If you want to worship your own god, this kind of thing is similar to ordinary people burning incense and worshiping. Ordinary people may attract ghosts, but the worship of cultivators is much more powerful than that of ordinary people. If you are not angry, it is the same thing that attracts evil. You should treat this thing as an extremely powerful lonely ghost or evil spirit. It will pretend to be the god you worship. If you are not careful, you will External evils enter the body - some people feel that they are really possessed by the ancestor and god, and their cultivation level increases rapidly, and in the end they become confused and crazy, which is not a good thing anyway.”
"So, the higher the level of spiritual practice, the more dangerous it is?"
Zeng Jianqiu reluctantly hesitated for a while - in such a daze, Li Wuxiang felt that he saw Zhao Qi's expression when he talked about the declining Ranshan Sect - and then said: "There is no such thing in the Dharma. Six Parts Xuanjiao has nothing to do with this. This matter belongs to the Thirty-Six Sects and Taiyi, otherwise why would they always say that we are heretics, bah."
"Then..." Li Wuxiang paused, "Does the external evil know what the person who has been penetrated is thinking?"
"How is that possible? Are Zhao Qi talking nonsense to you?" He said this and was stunned. Suddenly he looked at Li Wuxiang and slapped his thigh: "Oh, I forgot about this!"
"What?"
He looked up and down Li Wuxiang's body for a while, and then said: "I shouldn't say they are the Ranshan sect, but you should be the Ranshan sect - the gold entanglement is on your body, and there are Dharma stickers on it. , Brother, you are now the sect master of Ranshan!”
"Oh? What do you mean by this thing? Is there any benefit?"
Zeng Jianqiu clicked his tongue twice: "You are such a calm person. As for the Dharma post, Zhao Qi told you, it was made by the Thirty-Six Sects themselves. There is nothing surprising, even if it is a seal, come on, Stretch your hand over.”
Zeng Jianqiu held his palm and exerted a little force. Li Wuxiang immediately felt a stream of air flow into his body, but it only turned around slightly and disappeared without a trace.
Zeng Jianqiu was stunned and let go: "Oh, I forgot that you are an evil spirit. Come on, listen, it's quite simple. Take the thing with the dharma sticker and go to Yunmen, Zhongfu, Shenfeng, Zhangmen, If you have a good luck with these five acupuncture points of Taiyi, treasures will appear. The seal letter has come out. I have never seen something that has been actually attached to a Dharma seal. This is what an old friend of mine told me. He said that this thing has to wait for someone to form a pill before the Dharma seal can appear. Try it yourself.”
"But..." He shook his head, "You are different. I don't know what you will do when the time comes. You can figure it out yourself. Anyway, it is just a seal to tell others that there is a real seal on it, and other sects are in charge. Everyone knows it when they see it.”
Li Wuxiang frowned: "It's gone? Is it really just a seal? What if someone else robs it? Is he also the leader of Ranshan Sect?"
Zeng Jianqiu looked at him for a while and sighed: "You told me that you were captured by Zhao Puppet in the past, but if you were really an ordinary person, you would not have this magnanimity. Then I will treat you as someone who lived in seclusion somewhere before. Yes, I really don’t know anything. Our friendship is considered to be a life-long friendship this time, so I won’t ask more.”
"Yes, it's really just a seal. If someone else robs it, it's because you have no ability. That's how things are in this world. As for the use of this seal, let's put it this way, if you form an elixir one day, If you feel that you are successful, you can find a good place to establish a sect, and then you can tell others that I am the sect leader of Ranshan and I have the dharma certificate.”
"As soon as this matter spreads, nearby sects may send people to see it. If you show the Dharma sticker in front of them and verify it is correct, then you are the leader of Ranshan Sect, and others will say nothing. But then, the nearby Taoism is profound If you know it and want to be the leader of the clan, what will you do if he comes to kill you? If you are killed and he robs you, then he is the clan leader.”
"If you kill him, in the eyes of the Thirty-Six Sects, it will naturally be a good thing to eliminate demons and defend the law! But if you can't fight him and escape, then you can go to the nearby Thirty-Six Sects and tell them If you are invaded by evil sects, you are also from the Thirty-sixth Sect. If you ask for help, they will do their best to help you.”
"Do you understand? This is how the world is. That boy Zhao Qi is talking nonsense today, telling you that this world is about the jungle and the strong. I won't say whether his other fallacies are bullshit. Anyway, this point is correct. Brother, today It's me, but if it were someone else, I might not be able to do anything now that I'm injured, but knowing that Jin Tangzi is with you, you would be like a magic weapon. "It's precious. I'll come back to catch you and practice as soon as I recover from the injury." "Don't think it's just because you have a golden knot. Even if you don't, you are a cultivator and you will always have a treasure on your body." We don’t know what special skills each has, and everyone is polite, but if someone accidentally finds out, they will immediately kill you and seize the treasure!”
Li Wuxiang thought about what the world would be like, but he didn't expect that it seemed to be a little more sinister than he thought... No wonder the town leaders like the Chen family and the Li family didn't care much about calling themselves family. The disciples go to practice.
"Killing here and there... They all want to seek immortality. Aren't you afraid of retribution, karma and the like?"
"Hey, some people are afraid. The big sects and the Six Mysterious Sects lack everything. Naturally, they are afraid. If they don't do anything easily, they are afraid of ruining their Taoism. But do you think about who would walk in the rivers and lakes? Practitioners meditate every day Only when you breathe in and out can you make progress How much, why should you spend your time on a bunch of mundane things? It's just a poor word. You need magical materials for refining elixirs, medicinal baths, and refining weapons. You are a small sect and don't have a blessed place. You can only go down the mountain to find a town to make offerings. ”
"But what mortals can offer as offerings is limited. You have to get some things by yourself. You keep getting them here and there, and accidentally your youth and longevity are about to end. What karma do you care about at this time? Let's continue practicing first! So you are walking in In the world of martial arts, the more you look at someone who is young, the more you see someone who is old, the more you have to be careful.”
He pointed at himself: "Just like me."
"You look like you're only in your early thirties."
Zeng Jianqiu laughed loudly: "You see, I am already over fifty years old. But I am not in a hurry. Zhao Puppet fell on me this time, but it has exhausted all my youth and longevity. I will wait a few more Nian, look at me, I look just like your town leader. Alas, he was quite young when I met him, but so many years have passed and I almost didn’t remember him. ”
Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment: "Zhao Qi told me that if our youth and longevity are exhausted... we can no longer practice."
Zeng Jianqiu nodded: "That's right. As people age slowly, their innate energy leaks out, and the ailments that ordinary people have will gradually appear. In the end, they are just a handful of loess, just like ordinary people."

"I..."
"Hey, you don't have to come with me to do this." Zeng Jianqiu waved his hand, "I never thought that I could become a land swordsman. When I entered Taoism, I was brought in in a daze. When I was in my thirties, I I've thought about it for a long time. I don't like the world today, and I can't be called a saint. Man, I just want to have a good time in this world. I have killed a lot of evil spirits over the years, and I have used a lot of the methods I used against you before. I definitely can’t say that I have a clear conscience, but it is better than anything else. Those bastards are much better. Okay, I won’t lose anything in this life.”
Li Wuxiang sighed: "Brother Zeng, you..."
"Hey, didn't you tell me not to follow my mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"No, I want to say, in this case, can you teach me your flying sword technique?"
Zeng Jianqiu stared at him and said nothing.
Li Wuxiang spread his hands: "I understand, the realm of cultivation is one thing, and the art of killing is another. I think your method is particularly suitable for me. You can't bury your skills. Let's go You are so destined, why not teach me?”
"Don't teach."
"Because I'm not Taiyi's swordsman? I might as well be. In this way, you Taiyi will have an additional sect master of Ranshan."
Zeng Jianqiu snorted angrily, stood up with his gun and walked towards Bishan: "Because you have evil intentions! Taiyi Dao does not accept disciples who have evil intentions!"
Li Wuxiang followed: "How did you say this?"
"Have you forgotten that you cut off my hands and legs and handed me over to Zhao Qi? Can a good person do this?"
"No, brother, if I remember correctly it was you who threatened me first? Isn't that what you did as a good person?"
"Yes, I also have evil intentions. My master made a mistake. But I know that my intentions are not right, but I don't know about you!"
Li Wuxiang sighed: "Okay, then where are you going now?"
Zeng Jianqiu said nothing and walked away holding his gun. Li Wuxiang walked with him for a while, and when the two of them entered the dense forest and the skylight above them began to be blocked, he said: "What's wrong? Are you going to be sulky just because I want you to teach me the flying sword technique?" People.”
Zeng Jianqiu walked a few more steps, stood down and turned around. He thought for a while, raised his hand and patted his head hard: "You have to ask! Well, let me put it this way, aren't you curious why I followed Zhao Qi all the way here?"
“Isn’t it because of the bounty?”
"That was a matter of convenience." Zeng Jianqiu looked at him, "Let me tell you the truth. What I was looking for at first was not Zhao Qi, but Zhao Puppet. I was chasing Zhao Puppet, and then I caught up with Zhao Qi on the road. , followed him here again, if you ask me why. Why do I want to find Zhao Puppet? In fact, I went to Ranshan at the beginning. I want something from Ranshan, and it’s not really me who wants it. It’s Taidao and Youjiuyuan who want it. But now. It’s on you.”
These are mostly narrative plots that explain the settings, so I won’t break them down separately to avoid everyone being upset. Today it’s still two-in-one.
