Before I came here, I didn't know the enemy was so difficult to deal with. I thought it was a head-on fight. Compass and Huang Yilan might be of great help, so I brought everyone here. Now I know that the situation is far more complicated than we thought, and the enemy is hiding us.

Ming, too many people alerted the enemy and exposed himself, which was really a mistake.

An hour later, we continued on the road towards the Changsheng Temple in Fengxiangling. The Xuanming Sect is like an invisible person, no one knows where they are, but now they have exposed their flaws, and the Changsheng Temple is likely to be one of their strongholds.

One, this is a rare opportunity!

The redness and swelling in the places where we were stung by wasps have basically subsided, but small red spots are left behind. Especially for Lu Qingwen and Ouyang Zhenfei, the tender skin and tender meat are severely allergic. There are still small lumps about the size of coins left in the places where they were stung. Maybe

It will take a few days to completely disappear. Fortunately, Yutu removed the poison and treated our wounds in time, and applied herbal medicine. The skin was not necrotic and there should be no obvious scars.

We no longer dare to take it lightly and are always on guard as we move forward. Lu Qiang talked as he walked, telling some things he had heard, but most of them were legends from many years ago, such as someone seeing a whole group of corpses walking

, someone's whole family died suddenly or disappeared because they accidentally offended someone.

It is difficult to verify whether these legends are true or false, and it is impossible to determine whether they are the work of people from the Xuanming Sect. The local people's fear of this mysterious organization is inherited from generations. Although Lu Qiang lives here, because he is not a member of the circle, even

I have never heard of the name of Xuanming Sect, I only know that it is a mysterious organization.

The sign at the door of the inn yesterday did not belong to the Xuan Ming Sect, but was a warning from the Gu breeders to their own people, so Lu Qiang could recognize it.

The enemy already knew that we were coming, and the longer it took, the worse it would be for us, so we headed towards Changsheng Temple as quickly as possible. On the way, we encountered a small village that we had not entered, and we encountered few people.

Fengxiang Ridge is a very high mountain. There is a deep and straight crack in the middle of the top of the mountain, as if it had been slashed by a god. The top of the mountain is almost divided into two. When the mountain wind blows through the crack, it will make an obvious sound.

The "booming" sound is why it is called Fengxiang Ridge.

It was evening when we arrived at Fengxiang Ridge. Lu Qiang didn't know the specific location of the Changsheng Temple. He searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. As a result, when it got dark and he saw a little firelight from a high place, he realized that it was under a stone cliff.

The others were unable to move at night and camped in place to wait. Only Lin Mei and I went to investigate.

Lin Mei and I were both agile and moved quickly, and we found the Changsheng Temple in less than an hour. I found that there were three roads leading to the Changsheng Temple from different directions. The stone paths were obviously worn and smooth, which proved that this

The three roads were built many years ago. A large number of people used to walk there, and there are still many people walking there now.

The Taoist temple is located in a small col at the foot of the cliff, surrounded by ancient forest. I stood outside the mountain gate and visually inspected it. It covers an area of ​​about five or six acres. I climbed a big tree and looked inside. The overall building was not high, with white walls and black tiles.

, a plain wooden plaque that looks ordinary and has seen better days.

Scanning again, I found a row of huge stone pillars in the main hall, neat stone slabs on the ground, and several impressive stone tablets. These were left over from ancient times, showing that this place had once been glorious.

The lights in the main hall were bright, and there was the sound of chanting sutras. There were probably more than a dozen people there. While the Taoist priests were doing evening classes, I happened to sneak in and search. If they were members of the Xuanming Sect, they would definitely be able to find something strange.

A normal place.

I got down from the tree and asked Lin Mei to meet me outside the wall, because she couldn't use the invisibility charm. If I went in by myself and alerted the Taoist priests, I could still hide and leave without alerting anyone.

Standing outside the wall, Xiaoxue first began to investigate the situation inside. At this time, there was an unusually powerful aura fluctuation in the Taoist temple. Through Xiaoxue, I "saw" a huge, luminous god flashing above the hall, with his head in a bun and his body in a bun.

Wearing gorgeous robes and holding a wat tablet, he looks like an ancient courtier, but also looks like a Taoist priest.

We were shocked. The man of God pointed his finger at us and said in a thunderous voice: "Don't you little monster dare to peek into our sect's dojo and leave quickly!"

Xiaoxue was a little panicked, but she still had the courage to ask: "May I ask the name of the god?"

"I am a meritorious officer on duty, so what do you want to do?"

I actually saw a god! Although he was just a Mao Shen who was on duty running errands and delivering reports, he was a righteous god who could reach heaven after all. This proves that gods really exist. How can it not be exciting?

Among the Taoist guardian gods, there are four levels of merit, namely year, month, day, and hour merit. Their responsibilities are to manage major events that occur in one year, one month, one day, and one hour respectively, and register them.

In addition, they are also responsible for delivering the urns and watches in various dojos to the relevant gods (express delivery?), so they are well-deserved errands on duty.

Even though I was excited, I was also a little surprised. The Xuanming Sect is a cult. How could the righteous God on duty come to look after them here?

Xiaoxue said: "My master's master was killed by Taoist Cangwu from this Taoist temple. They cultivated resentful souls, refined zombies, and ran rampant in the countryside, so we came to check."

The meritorious officer on duty stroked his beard with his hand and pondered for a moment: "Cang Wu is not here, and there are no ghosts or zombies in the temple. You can look for them elsewhere."

Xiaoxue didn't dare to confront the meritorious officer on duty, but I couldn't help it, and said with strong will power: "The gods have great magical powers and boundless magic power. Please tell me the whereabouts of Taoist Cangwu and where the Xuanming Sect hides evil and evil.

place."

The meritorious officer on duty looked displeased: "I don't care about personal grudges and only care about today's affairs. Since you are a mage, you should restrain your servants and demon foxes from trespassing."

I was stunned for a moment. The Xuanming Sect is obviously a cult. However, when it appeared in the Taoist temple to which the Xuanming Sect belongs, it was completely ignored and refused to give any advice. Moreover, the implication was that it didn’t care what the Xuanming Sect did. I

If you enter the Immortality Observation, he will take care of it. What kind of logic is this?

As soon as I was so stunned, my meritorious service on duty disappeared, and everything just now was like an illusion.

I am very angry. With the ability of the meritorious officer on duty, he should be able to know the whereabouts of Taoist Cangwu very clearly, and he can also find out the illegal things of Xuanming Sect. Is it so difficult to give some advice? He is obviously partial to those in the Taoist temple.

people!

Xiaoxue sighed: "This Taoist temple has a long history, and gods from all walks of life have been worshiped by them for many years, so of course they have to favor them."

I was even more angry: "You are really just being soft-spoken. How can you turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye even if you are doing something illegal?"

"It seems that raising ghosts and refining zombies is not illegal. People from other sects also do these things. Young Master, think about it, gods don't care about all kinds of ghosts and corpses, so as long as those who raise ghosts and refine zombies don't use these

If you do something that goes too far, the gods will not care about it. In our modern terms, this is a zone of no regard, and you can

It's just a side effect. Besides, there must be people in the cult who have achieved the same goal. Of course, they have to protect their disciples and grandchildren, and say hello to other gods: Hi, buddy, somewhere is my hometown, and someone is my disciple. Take care of me.

Come on...after all, gods are also made by humans, and they are also humane and sophisticated. This water is very deep!"

I'm not angry anymore, but I'm very depressed. Some people in the court want to be officials, others have gods and ancestors to protect them, but I don't. It's like this in the human world, but I didn't expect it to be the same in the fairy world. If I can fight against people, can I still fight against gods?

Xiaoxue said: "It's not that serious. The most they can do is turn a blind eye and pretend not to know, and they can't stop us from seeking revenge against the Xuanming Sect. It makes sense for the meritorious officers on duty not to let us in.

Because I am a demon."

So I can't go in. In fact, there is no need to go in. Even if the meritorious officials on duty are partial to them, they won't tell lies. Then there are no ghosts or zombies here, and the Changsheng Temple is a legal Taoist temple.

I originally thought that the View of Immortality would be a breakthrough, but I didn't expect that there were no clues here. The Xuanming Sect is too secretive and cunning. No wonder even Lu Chengshan said that the Xuanming Sect is very mysterious.

Seeing me standing there for a while without moving, Lin Mei couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

I sighed softly: "There are gods inside who won't let Xiaoxue and I go in."

"What, are there really gods?"

"Well, it's a meritorious service on duty..." I told what happened just now.

Lin Mei was also very depressed: "It turns out that gods are just like mortals. I thought gods were just and selfless!"

Xiaoxue said to the two of us at the same time: "If you look at various myths and legends, novels about gods and demons, operas and dramas, the relationship between gods and immortals is very complicated, and they are all about human feelings."

Lin Mei asked me: "Other sects have gods to protect them, why don't the gods of your Yin and Yang family show their power?"

I was stunned, yes, why have I never seen the gods who belong to the Yin-Yang family? Master said that many famous people in history belong to the Yin-Yang family, not to mention the distant ancestors in ancient times, Gui Guzi, Su Qin from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period

, Zhang Yi

, Shui Jing, Zhuge Liang, Yuan Tiangang, Liu Bowen, etc., is it possible that none of them have become immortals, and none of them are willing to protect their descendants? The Yin and Yang family has become weak to the point it is now, maybe it is because the ancestors did not give enough strength, is it because their strength has been exhausted?

When we returned to the place where we camped, everyone asked me how things were going, so I had to briefly explain what had happened. Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng were also surprised. Longhushan Tianshi Taoism is the most authentic and oldest Taoism in China.

sect, they

The two have never seen real gods appear in the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain. Although this does not mean that there are no gods visiting Longhu Mountain. Maybe the gods come to see and then leave. There is no need to show up, but it can also be seen from this.

Immortals will never show up easily.

Gao Feng said: "Maybe it just happened that they were performing some kind of ritual and invited the meritorious officials to come, and you happened to bump into it. In fact, when we set up the altar to perform the ritual, there were also gods from all walks of life coming."

Lu Qingwen said: "Maybe they have some special methods to let the little gods who patrol the world take special care of them."

Khan, isn't this just bribery? I have a very disrespectful idea. The gods have been bribed by people from evil sects. They only protect people from evil sects but not decent people. Therefore, the world is full of demons. Then let's investigate
Chapter completed!
