Chapter 66 Grandfather of the Sect Leader
He stared in that direction - the earthen wall against which the bed was leaning, the place above the former stove, and slowly said: "Let's clean up tomorrow. It's time for you to sleep."
Xue Baoping was silent for a while in the darkness: "Well, then I'll go back."
When Li Wuxiang heard the door to the main room being closed, he immediately got up and walked to the bedside. There was no light but there was moonlight, and he could still see clearly - the bed was originally located where the large stove was, and on the side of the stove against the wall, there was a portrait of the Stove Lord.
In the past few days, Chen Xin had gathered people in the town and told them several times, asking every household not to worship the Stove Lord or mention what happened that day, but to worship Taiyi. Zeng Jianqiu painted a statue of Taiyi for them. Chen Xin has sent people to send the statue to Qingjiang City and they will bring it back in a few days.
The one in Xue Baoping's house was also taken off that night, and together with other people's portraits and portraits of the Stove God, they were all sent to the Stove God Temple, where they were worshiped for three consecutive days using the rituals mentioned by Zeng Jianqiu. Go.
But now Li Wuxiang took a closer look and discovered that there were still traces on the loess wall - the portrait of the Stove Lord had been posted on the wall for a long time and was stained by oil smoke. Therefore, after it was removed, there were still faint traces About the ink marks.
But now, just now, he suddenly felt hungry.
He wanted to put his face against Xue Baoping's neck and bite him hard.
The problem is, the incense that Zhao Puppet left in his body has completely freed him from the trouble of hunger these days. His whole body feels refreshed and happy, and he has not felt anything strange for a long, long time.
After he saw the marks on the wall clearly, he slowly took a few steps back. While still staring at it, he took out the only two talisman papers left and wrote another one on one of them against the strong resistance. Sleepy character.
Then, he took out another talisman from his arms.
This one is the last of the portraits of the Kitchen God drawn by Zhao Qi that were collected from door to door. The others had been burned, but he kept this one because he planned to study Zhao Qi's brushwork when he had time.
He walked back to the bedside station with these two talismans between him and whispered: "Zhao Puppet."
No response.
He thought for a moment, then lowered his head and glanced at the ground, and saw a few small sticks in the corner. He picked up three sticks and twisted them in his hand. His energy gathered at his fingertips, and he suddenly rushed towards the firewood branches. Sparks lit up on the branches with a hiss, and then green smoke drifted away.
Li Wuxiang pressed the talisman drawn by Zhao Qi on the ink mark of the Stove King's statue, inserted three burning branches into the cracks in the wall, and asked again: "Zhao Puppet?"
The green smoke instantly turned into three straight streaks, heading straight to the roof. There was a slight wind in the room. In the wind, Li Wuxiang heard the faint sound——
"Hehe... Do you think I'm gone just like that... My good disciple... I told you that I am already in the Immortal Class... Hehe... Hehe..."
Li Wuxiang listened quietly, thought for a while, and put away the sleepy characters in his hand.
"I suggest you shut your mouth first. If I'm not wrong, you are in this situation now - you are a false god created by Zhao Qisheng, and you need to be loved by others to survive. But now , the people in Jinshui no longer worship you, Zhao Qi I also took away the talisman I drew, leaving only this one in my hand. In a while, the people from Jinshui will move to Lijiawan, and when this generation slowly disappears, they will live another 23 years. In ten years, no one will know about this, and you will be gone.”
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Yes, so are you planning to ask me to help you now, but are you still lucky and think you can deceive me again? From the stove to the past few days, you have never played tricks on me. , come again now? Do you know what this is called?
The whisper suddenly became urgent: "Little animal——"
Li Wuxiang immediately picked up the talisman paper drawn by Zhao Qi, and when he pressed the energy on his finger, the talisman's head burst into flames, and a small part of it was burned.
"Okay, okay, stop, stop!"
"Call Grandpa the sect leader."
"Grandpa Sect Master, Grandpa Sect Master...you are the living ancestor!"
"That's true." Li Wuxiang flicked his hand, and the flame on the talisman went out. "If you fart, let it go. What do you want to do?"
The green smoke on the branches rushed up again, and then I heard Zhao Puppet's voice: "...The swordsman must have told you what you are like now before he got rid of you, right? Do you think so?" Don’t you want to be like me? You look like a good person? I tell you, you will be captured and refined as a magic weapon——"
Li Wuxiang sat down by the bed: "That's good, so how did you make those talismans?
"You have to save me first. It's not all for me, but also for you. You are now the sect master of Ranshan. I practice this for our Ranshan. I...I...ah, eh? I am... I am..."
The whispers gradually became ethereal, and the sparks on the tops of the three branches suddenly lit up again, burning to the bottom. Only then did Zhao Puppet's voice become slightly clearer: "It's uncomfortable, I feel so uncomfortable, please get me three more It smells good, but it feels uncomfortable. I can’t explain it..."
"Are you worthy?" Li Wuxiang picked up three more branches, lit them again, and inserted them into the cracks in the wall. "You want to talk or not, but I will go to Ranshan tomorrow anyway."
Zhao Puppet sucked half of the three branches suddenly, and then said: "Okay, okay, it's good to go to Ranshan. You are the sect master of Ranshan. Listen to me. I said it is for Ranshan." Really, among our thirty-six sects, the Taiyi we used to worship is the same as the remaining sects. So, they are all great gods who hold the law of heaven. Why has it declined now? Is it because Taiyi has been suppressed? His divine power has been greatly reduced and he can no longer protect us... The most powerful magical methods in the past have now become cheap tricks. …”
"Look at other people's Dharma teachings. Their great gods are flourishing. Disciples are protected by great gods and immortal ancestors during their practice. When they draw talismans and practice them, they are also protected by those above. The power is amazing! So I I can do this. I have made myself into an immortal, and then I will let future generations treat me as an immortal. If you worship the ancestor and enjoy the incense, I can also bless you. Although it is not as good as those great gods, but among the thirty-six sects, as long as we stay at the mountain gate and ask me to bless you, we don’t have to be afraid of others. Isn’t it, I have worked so hard for the mountain gate..."
Li Wuxiang nodded: "No. How did you make your talisman?"
The breeze in the room blew violently, and the three branches were almost sucked to the bottom again: "Hmph, you are so stubborn. Do you think you are hugging the swordsman's lap? I tell you, you are seeking death! That Zeng Jianqiu took it before Joe won't teach you , do you think he really doesn't want to? He is eager for you to learn it! He said that his sword sect's skills are the best in the world, but if they are really slow in practicing, how come there are only so many people? This is ridiculous! ! ”
"I'm telling you, it's because these sword sects are being watched by the people of the Dharma Sect! Why do you think they don't have a mountain gate dojo like the other thirty-six sects? Do you think they like to run around in scattered places? Go? Because as soon as they form a society and build a Shanmen monastery, the people of the Dharma religion will immediately find their lair and destroy them! Did you mention Youjiuyuan? That poor place has only been built for about fifty years!" "You have become a thorn in the side of the Dharma after learning their techniques! ... Why do you think this magical skill has been passed down to generations of Ranshan sect masters but they haven’t practiced it? Because the ancestor said that this thing is evil! No one should know that it is in our hands!"
"Why did I practice? Because now those swordsmen knew that this technique was in Ranshan and were coming to find them, so I hurriedly ran away from trouble! Now that I have become an immortal, no one in Ranshan's disciples knows about this technique. Those swordsmen I can’t be found either!”
Li Wuxiang probably knew the current predicament of the swordsmen. In fact, when Zhao Qi told him that the swordsman claimed to have inherited the Taiyi orthodoxy, he had a rough guess. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the Ranshan Sect be called the Taiyi Sect instead of giving up this orthodox name? It's also to avoid disaster.
Just - "I know that Guangchanzi is evil, but why can't people know that it's in your hands?" Li Wuxiang flicked the branch that was about to burn to the bottom, "And haven't you become a god now? Are you afraid? What?”
"I...what am I afraid of? I'm afraid of the Dharma! The Patriarch said that we must not let the people who teach the Dharma know that Guangchanzi is in our hands. As for why, it has been passed down from generation to generation and has not been passed down! But this The matter must be extremely important to the teachings. What kind of person is the Patriarch? After our Patriarch became enlightened, he was the Kitchen God! "
"But now, if you let the Dharma know about this matter... they will take action to kill you, and they will eradicate the roots! It doesn't matter if you are not afraid of death, they will definitely catch me again! Not to mention that you still have external evil spirits on your body ! Do you understand the method of exorcising evil spirits within a radius of ten miles? If you want to refine your own method, take me to Ran Mountain quickly. The talisman can only be refined at the mountain gate... You enshrine me in the tablet of the ancestors of the past generations, and I will teach you, and then I will tell you how to find one. A good place to hide, you need to make yourself a good person first!”
Li Wuxiang thought for a while: "It's scary to hear you say that."
"You know it's okay to be afraid!"
"But since you can't figure out why you can't let others know about Guang Chanzi, I'd better ask Zeng Jianqiu. Even if he doesn't know, aren't there three sword immortals? They are better than a half-hearted person like you."
Li Wuxiang stretched out his hand and flicked the three firewood sticks stuck on the wall, and the sparks immediately dispersed, along with Zhao Puppet's voice: "...Good boy, do you think this is the end? I am immortal, Taoist Master. Lingshan has occupied the ancient cave and summoned soldiers and horses. I will pester you wherever you go——"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The spark went out and Zhao Puppet's voice disappeared.
Li Wuxiang looked at the Stove Lord's talisman in his hand and put it away.
Zeng Jianqiu was right. It seems that the Zhao puppet will not die in a short time. He slowly thought about what he just said, and felt that it was true and false. It must be true that Zhao Puppet's situation is not good, otherwise he would never let go of his arrogance and call his sect master grandpa after he kept saying that he would become an immortal.
It must be true that the swordsmen are in a bad situation and Guang Chanzi is involved in something important. But it doesn't matter, since he has decided to cultivate the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter, he will not change his mind. Man said that there is still an external evil that wants to save his life, even if he can't... the so-called Dharma teachings, the six mysterious teachings, only occupy a part of the world. In his previous life, the pressure he faced in the industry he was engaged in was much greater than this, so he would not be deterred by this kind of thing.
He had wanted to ask Ranshan's former disciple how to make paper, but now Zhao Puppet had jumped out on his own, so he could really ask him in the future. But there is no need to rush now, this can be regarded as a negotiation method - he is much more anxious than himself.
But what does it mean to "occupy an ancient cave in Lingshan"? Zeng Jianqiu has talked about a lot of common sense about cultivation these days, but he has never heard of this.
Li Wuxiang thought for a while and walked out to the woodshed. But just as he was about to push the door open, his hand stopped for a moment.
There was no sound inside.
He slowly exhaled and pushed the door open a crack...the room was empty. He walked in and found that the quilt had been folded. I looked at the wall again and didn't see any writing.
No wonder Zhao Puppet dared to show up just now, maybe because Zeng Jianqiu left. He sat down on the shop for a while, sighed, patted the quilt, and walked back to his room.
At dawn the next day, he and Xue Baoping finished breakfast and put down their bowls and chopsticks: "Zeng Jianqiu left last night, and I will leave today. If things go well, I will see if I can come back to celebrate the New Year. You guys move After you go to Lijiawan, ask Chen Xin to find a slightly larger house for you. If Zeng Jianqiu comes back, we will be considered half of his apprentices."
"Will you be able to eat by then? What do you like to eat? I'll prepare it for you in advance."
Li Wuxiang smiled and thought for a while: "My favorite food is actually seafood. Have you ever eaten it?"
Xue Baoping shook his head.
"Then let me see if I can get some for you. Anything else is fine, tofu, chicken, etc. When winter comes, you can freeze some pears and apples for me, and some frozen tofu."
"Well, I'll freeze in the tank then."
Li Wuxiang got up, walked to the room, carried the package, pushed open the door to the courtyard - there was heavy fog outside, but there were already several people and a black horse standing under the big willow tree outside the door. Chen Xin held the reins in his hand, and when he saw Li Wuxiang coming out, he cupped his hands and said, "My master said goodbye to me last night. I guess you are leaving too, Master Xian, so I prepared a horse and this. ”
He handed over a long knife: "My master said you might need it, Master Immortal."
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Thank you, I won't be polite."
He took the knife, tied it around his waist, got on the horse again, waved his hand towards Xue Baoping: "Let's go."
Xue Baoping covered his mouth and waved to him. Li Wuxiang turned the horse's head, clamped his legs slightly, and the black horse started walking in small steps.
He rode across the bridge and turned to take a look at the bridge - a haggard young woman stood in the thick fog and looked at him. When she met his gaze, she quickly retracted into the fog.
It seems to be Chen Xiu.
